Don't you sometimes wonder who got the good domain names? While it is early to glance at this resource, it might be fun to watch it grow. World Philanthropists collects information about nonprofits and philanthropists across the globe. You can look at the few nonprofit profiles from the home page or by region. While there isn't much here and what is there you can find elsewhere (the philanthropist bios are from Wikipedia), perhaps this UK-based domain with the great name will grow to be a contender.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS OF CANADA
Canada has 155 community foundations, at last count. This association is the supporting organization for those foundations. Researchers can use this resource to search for funding through the Community Foundation Finder under the Looking for Funding? cue on the menu bar. Results returned are lists of community foundations with contact information, including a link to the foundation's Web site, if it has one. There is good information at this site about starting a community foundation, resources for issues community foundations face, and fresh news about gifts made by community foundations and other matters.
In this review we'll focus on Imagine Canada's intriguing collection of answers to the most popular questions it receives. The answers actually form a tour of all things foundation in Canada. How many nonprofits and charities are there in Canada? Is there a Canadian "charities watchdog?" What are the standards and statistics on the cost of fund raising? There are other nooks and crannies to explore on this site, including the Links Directory (http://nonprofitscan.andornot.com/links.aspx), which has a great search engine segregating results into categories such as Foundations and Grantmaking, Boards and Governance, and Research and Statistics. Use the following link to begin your exploration at the Top Information Requests page.
