Private funds and charity organisations are often exclusively committed to subsidising restoration of cultural heritage buildings or poverty alleviation programmes. A few are said to consider responding to calls for integrated effort. (E. g. The Getty Grant Programme, until now exclusively devoted to cultural heritage, Ford Motor Company Fund, and The Ford Foundation – all USA but engaging internationally) Nationally operating funds and charities will perhaps follow the suit. Although a possible source, they tend to cater to those in extreme need or to innovative ideas, and that may not necessarily be in your interest to twist things to qualify for their support.
