Overview
This grant for TechSoup Global will support NGOsource to upgrade its technology systems. NGOsource is a centralized repository of equivalency determinations that enables U.S. foundations to make grants to foreign organizations without the need to ensure expenditure responsibility. This allows U.S. grantmakers to make grants to international NGOs more reliably and cost-effectively. By upgrading its technology systems, NGOsource will make it easier for grantmakers and foreign organizations to work on equivalency determinations.

Grants to this Grantee
for the development of NGOsource, an online repository of equivalency determinations
Renewed funding for TechSoup Global will support the fourth year of operations for NGOsource, a centralized repository of equivalency determinations that enables U.S. foundations to make grants to foreign organizations without the need to ensure expenditure responsibility (which imposes limitations on the use of the funds and burdens grantor and grantee alike with additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements). NGOsource allows U.S. grantmakers to make grants to international NGOs more reliably and cost effectively. It also reduces redundant work for non-U.S. grantseekers, while increasing access to U.S. grantmakers.
for the development of NGOsource, an online repository of Equivalency Determinations
Renewed funding for TechSoup Global will support the third year of operations for NGOsource, a centralized repository of equivalency determinations that enables U.S. foundations to make grants to foreign organizations without the need to ensure expenditure responsibility (which imposes limitations on the use of the funds and burdens grantor and grantee alike with additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements). In 2013 the IRS granted regulatory approval, enabling TechSoup to launch this new service. NGOsource allows U.S. grantmakers to make grants to international NGOs more reliably and cost effectively. It also reduces redundant work for non-U.S. grantseekers, while increasing access to U.S. grantmakers. NGOsource charges fees to grantmakers for their service. As the service scales up, we anticipate NGOsource will become self-sustaining in two years and no longer need funding from the Hewlett Foundation.
For the development of NGOSource, an online repository of Equivalency Determinations
Renewed funding for TechSoup Global would support the second year of operations for NGOSource, a centralized repository of equivalency determinations that enables U.S. foundations to make grants to foreign organizations without the need to ensure expenditure responsibility (which imposes limitations on the use of the funds and burdens grantor and grantee alike with additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements). In 2013 the IRS granted regulatory approval, enabling TechSoup to launch this new service. NGOSource allows U.S. grantmakers to make grants to international NGOs more reliably and cost effectively. It also reduces redundant work for non-U.S. grantseekers, while increasing access to U.S. grantmakers.
