We find who might fund you
before you ask.
As a publication covering this sector daily, we track who's funding what — across foundations, corporate CSR programs, and regions. The Bureau turns that vantage point into a matched funder list for your organization.
Three steps, one file.
We open the file
We draw on what we already track as a publication covering this sector — who's funding what, and where — then search further for real overlap with your mission. Not just shared keywords.
We check who they've funded
Every entry is checked against the funder's actual giving history — what they support, how much they typically give, and whether they're currently open to applications.
You get the sheet
40–50 matched funders land in your inbox as a spreadsheet — contacts, fit notes, and a built-in tracker. From there, your team writes and sends its own Letters of Inquiry, under your organization's name.
Every file is built the same way.
No name-only lists. Every row carries what you'd otherwise spend hours digging up yourself.
Foundation or company CSR program — each approached differently, and we tell you which.
One line on why this funder specifically lines up with your mission — not a generic match.
Who they've supported before, so you know this isn't a cold guess.
Open application, or invite-only — so you don't waste time on doors that aren't open yet.
The right entry point for each funder — a named contact where one exists.
A built-in status column, so the sheet becomes your team's working file, not a one-time list.
40–50 matched funders, fully researched.

We cover this sector as journalists — reporting on who's funding what, across foundations and corporate CSR, before it shows up in a public database.
The Bureau is a separate service from our editorial reporting. Buying a file has no bearing on whether or how we cover your organization, and vice versa.
We don't contact funders on your behalf. Every letter and application goes out under your organization's name, from your inbox.
We can't promise funding — no one honestly can. We only promise every entry on your file is a real, checked match, not a name pulled to hit a number.
