Another important source of revenue for Action Without Borders is our earned income. In order to increase our financial resources and expand our programs, we began charging U.S.-based nonprofit organizations to post jobs on Idealist.org in 1999. All other listings on Idealist for nonprofit organizations remained free of charge.

Other sources of earned income include the fees we assess to consultants to join our Idealist Consultant and Vendor Directory, to nonprofit organizations to attend our Idealist Nonprofit Career Fairs, to graduate schools to attend our Idealist Graduate Degrees for the Public Good Fairs, and to attendees at some of our trainings and workshops.

Earned income has provided most of our annual budget in recent years, allowing us to support our many programs and services, and to keep costs low (often free) for most of them.

Over the years, Action Without Borders has received financial support from a variety of foundations and grantmaking bodies. These are:

Action Without Borders has developed partnerships with a wide range of institutions that contribute to our operations through in-kind support. For more information on these associations, please see our Partnerships page.

Our most important source of in-kind support comes from Aladdin Knowledge Systems, an Israeli software firm. Since our earliest days, Aladdin has graciously hosted us without charge in their New York City office, providing our staff with computers, telecommunications, technical support, and a place to make Idealist possible.
