Overview
LearnPhilanthropy is a new tool to support learning in foundations and throughout the philanthropic sector. Using an online martketplace, LearnPhilanthropy will guide grantmakers to available learning resources and promote connections to broader communities of practice. To date the initiative has been incubated and sponsored by the Council on Foundations and the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers. This grant, along with expected funds from other funders, will support the additional research for, and building of, a searchable and dynamic resource catalog, the identification of a long-term sustainable business model and determination of a long-term LearnPhilanthropy governance and management structure.
