In October 2009, TechSoup Global, a San-Francisco-based technology non-profit, was selected by the Council of Foundations to host the NGO Equivalency Determination (ED) Repository, which will help US-based foundations provide grants to organizations around the world by streamlining the process of qualifying non-US grantees as the equivalents of US public charities. Pending approval from the IRS, the Repository is expected to launch in 2010.
