CREATIVE STRATEGIES 
Thank you so much for this information. I have been looking for funding sources to help support a community in the highlands of Guatemala. The Civil Association APRODEFI located in Xix, El Quiche, founded the School for New Mayas (Centro de Formation Nuevos Mayas) which still needs some outside help for operating and living expenses for rural students. Members have bought a finca and have many projects, which they intend will allow them, in three or four years, to fund the school themselves. Until then, help is needed. I look forward to perusing your list.–Mary Lois Sennewald
Thank you for this resource I havent fully reviewed it yet but looks like a great repository of some excellent links and learning tools. I am a Community Development Supervisor in Toronto,Canada and accessing funds – especially sustainable funds – for proven community needs and models is very difficult in this world of one year project funding. Also securing funds for advocacy or public education/ community mobliizing, civic engagement is very diffcult in Canada. – Ann Fitzpatrick
