Help your nonprofit find new donors by applying to be included in the Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington. This is a trusted resource listing about 350 smaller community-based charities in the DC area which is offered free both online and in print. Since November 2003, the Catalogue has helped charities raise more than $6.3 million.
The purpose of the Catalogue is “to create visibility for excellent, trustworthy nonprofits in Greater Washington” and “to increase and improve charitable giving in the Washington, DC region.” Each charity included is visited by at least one reviewer and is evaluated for distinction, merit, cost-effectiveness, and accomplishment. Location, diversity among fields and kinds of organizations, and appeal to donors also contribute to the final decision on which organizations will be included.
The first deadline to be featured in the 2009-10 Catalogue is coming up on February 23, so don’t miss this opportunity to get noticed!
The deadline for applying to be included in the Catalogue was recently extended to March 2, 2009. Be sure to take advantage of this extra time!
