WHAT IS A FUNDING AGENCY?

Funding agencies are organizations that provides grants, scholarships, or other forms of

support to programs, projects, and individuals in a specific area. Funding agencies may
be non-profit organizations, private foundations, or government offices .

Where as in the context of social welfare it is to provide financial assistance for the
various plans and projects.

Funding agencies provide support and funding to non-profits, grass-root level NGOs,
organizations, but the agencies provide funds and support according to their own
guidelines, terms and parameters.
THE UNITED NATIONS AND ITS AGENCIES
The United Nations along with its other agencies are
one of the main funding agency for international
welfare organizations.

The UN system, also known unofficially as the 'UN

family', is made up of the UN itself and many
programs, funds, and specialized agencies, all with
their own leadership and budget.  The programs and
funds are financed through voluntary rather than
assessed contributions. The Specialized Agencies are
independent international organizations funded by
both voluntary and assessed contributions.
