The Knowledge Base

What is it?

As a member, you can also search for resources and benefit from the collective knowledge of your philanthropy colleagues. The Council’s website features The Knowledgebase, a compilation of the best resources from among the nation’s 32 regional associations and other partners. The Knowledgebase is a secure, central repository for a wide range of content and links to external resources that are fully indexed and easily searchable.

What can you find there?

Are you interested in viewing sample bylaws? Would information on administrative expenses be helpful? Look no further.

While you can find Council publications and documents by using the key categories found on the left-hand navigation bar, you access the central repository by entering a keyword in the search box (upper right-hand corner) in the gray horizontal navigation bar OR click here.

Hint: Documents marked with a “KB” icon are exclusive, members-only documents. You will not be able to open these documents unless you are logged-in with your member Username and Password.

Here are just a few of the topics you can search in The Knowledgebase:

Sample job descriptions

Communications

Evaluation

Grantmaking guidelines

Investment
