UK ONLINE GOV

Looking for all things government and electronic in England ? If it’s available to the public, you’ll find it here. Where should you start your review? Choose Business & Industry from the menu bar on the left and you’ll get a link to Companies House, the UK ’s business database. Or, back at the home page, choose People, Communities and Living, scroll down the page and discover a link to Charities that will lead you to the Charities Commission. The Charities Commission houses the Register of Charities, of course. If the information you seek doesn’t quite fit in the clear categories on the menu bar, use the Web site’s search engine (upper right).

PROPERTIES IN EUROPE

Your education in property ownership in France , Spain , Portugal or Italy can begin at this site. Useful links to tax issues, a mortgage calculator, the purchase process and other factors in property ownership for each country are here. Under Useful Information on the menu bar, choose Tax Issues, for example, and the country where your prospect lives. Then, when that page loads, be sure to notice the small menu on the left. It offers you links to topics like Buying Property, Tax and Costs, Mortgages and other real estate issues for that country. Properties for rent and for sale are listed and there is a free registration that includes a free newsletter, which you might want to receive for awhile if several of your prospective donors live in these locales.

GUIDESTAR UK

Are you eagerly awaiting the launch of GuideStar UK ? Have you been wondering what’s up with this project? Do you remember pacing outside the e-door with researchers and grantwriters as we waited for U.S. 990-PFs to come to the Web? It’s déjà vu all over again when it comes to UK and Wales charities resources. There is now a dedicated Web site. See the GuideStar UK timeline, read press releases or sign up for the free newsletter that will keep you informed of the latest developments as another wonderful resource for nonprofits and donors is birthed.
