SAFSF is not a grant making entity nor do we recommend grants to our funder members. The following are some resources aimed at helping NGOs to navigate the philanthropic world more effectively:

• GrantsDirect provides directories profiling foundations who work in various issue areas. A very helpful resource.
• GuideStar is a national database of nonprofit organizations.
• The Chronicle of Philanthropy highlights nonprofit news
• The Foundation Center's mission is to strengthen the nonprofit sector by advancing knowledge about U.S. philanthropy. They offer a variety of web-based and classroom-based resources.

Foundations supporting work on sustainable agriculture and food systems vary widely in where they fund, what they fund, and which organizations they support.
