Comment: A great one-stop site to find funding opportunities. On this site you will also get the closing dates for applications (truly great resource for the fundraiser!). While on the site do check out the free resources for project managers.

Comment: Updated regularly. Many opportunities for Africa women wanting to pursue Masters and PhD studies.
Online Fundraising
A less often considered route is online fundraising. This option is underutilised by African organisations that could benefit the most from it. Break with the trend and explore the possibilities - it may just allow your organisation to better plan and implement your growth strategy.
