The Virtual Foundation - your donation makes it happen
Consortium Members
(Local Partners)
Consortium Members are the "Local Partners" of the Virtual Foundation
network. Each Consortium Member is an experienced grant-making organization
in its own country or region. The Consortium Members provide the crucial
on-the-ground link between the Non-Governmental Organizations who create
and implement the projects on this web site, and the Virtual Foundation
staff.
Consortium Members solicit and screen proposals, handle transfers of
funds, supervise project implementation, and collect final reports. They
take responsibility for the projects of the groups they work with. They
have English language capacity and e-mail access, which enables them to
communicate directly with the Virtual Foundation. Thus, the Non-Governmental
Organizations designing and carrying out the projects do not need their
own English language staff or e-mail.
The Virtual Foundation Board of Directors acts on recommendations from
its staff, to review and vote on applications for Consortium Membership.
As of October 2006, there are 20 different Consortium Members, covering a
total of 24 different countries.
