We have organised the information into different indexes;

• The detailed Subject Index that categorizes organizations according to the field they are working on.
• The Organization Type Index, that sorts Organizations according to what their primary vehicle of change is (What are they working with, rather what are they working on).
• The Geographic Focus Index that sorts Organizations based on where they carry out their work, not where they are based. This should help you to identify Organizations in working in certain geographic areas.
• The SDG Index (Beta Version for Notable Organizations) that shows organizations based on the SDGs they are consciously or subconsciously working towards. This categorization has been created through Natural Language Processing with the help of the Global Goals Directory.
