The Council maintains a dynamic library of resources for global Grantmakers. Country Notes are a widely-used resource that provides detailed information on domestic non-profit laws in 35 countries. In 2019, we expanded content around our 13 most-visited countries to create new, members-only resources where we identify local networks and contacts, curate reports on country-level trends, and list funders actively working in specific countries.

To learn more about the Council on Foundations Country Notes, visit the link below.

 

Here is an example of one of our 13 expanded country notes:
