Abstract	The Information Exchange, established in 1986 as part of the South African Programs of the Institute of International Education, addresses a need among U.S. corporations, colleges, foundations, universities, churches, etc. for current, accurate information on projects and activities related to enhancing the educational opportunities for black South Africans. This survey was intended to test the validity of the Exchange's assumptions that: (1) increased willingness to consider South Africa-related grantmaking is not necessarily accompanied by adequate knowledge of the field and (2) increased awareness of South Africa's political and social problems among U.S. funders and the general public has created a new receptivity to supporting many efforts to assist black South Africans. The survey is comprised of an analysis of the present state of foundation funding of such activities and a foundation inventory with specific information on South Africa-related policies and grants of individual foundations. Information is provided on the history of U.S. grantmaking to South Africa-related projects; new initiatives in U.S. grantmaking for South Africa; and perceived obstacles to South Africa-related grantmaking. Among the conclusions are these: that there is a growing awareness of the need for U.S. help; foundations might be willing to stretch programmatic guidelines when considering South African-related proposals; and funders venturing into this territory for the first time need more information and assistance. A foundation inventory describes each of the 25 related foundations and their involvement. (SM)
