ON-LINE CORPORATE CHARITY SUBJECT OF NEW DIRECTORY

MIAMI, FL–For educational and non-profit organizations seeking program funding, private companies can be a major source of philanthropy–even in tough economic times. To help grantseekers identify and locate corporate grants-and-giving opportunities, Miami-based Resource Media Group, Inc., has just published the new Fall 2002 issue of its serial directory, Corporate Grants & Giving on the Internet: A Directory of Web Pages.

Directory listings include individual Internet addresses for the actual grants-and-giving website pages of over 600 major national and regional corporations which, together, have branches or do business in virtually every local community. Each listing also provides a headquarters location, an industry description, and a summary of the corporation’s charitable areas of interest–from education and community programs to the arts, the environment, health and human services, medical research, technology, and youth development. Home-page Internet addresses are included to facilitate research on products and services, branch and plant locations, financial results, and contacts.

“On-line research is becoming ever more fruitful for grantseekers,” says William Scheer, CEO of Resource Media Group, publisher and distributor of titles on grants and funding. “Companies have placed a great deal of information on their websites.” And with the value of private-sector largesse estimated to reach $9-$10 billion per year, corporate gifts are well worth pursuing. “Even in recession, big companies continue to make cash grants,” says Scheer, “as philanthropy is a key part of public relations. And non-cash gifts, such as employee volunteering and product donations, are also a priority, as they further enhance a corporation’s standing as a good citizen.”

Updated quarterly to accommodate new listings and frequent web-page address changes, Corporate Grants & Giving on the Internet: A Directory of Web Pages is offered at $16.95 for a single issue or $57.00 for an annual subscription of four issues.
