LearnPhilanthropy

The Field-Wide Hub for Grantmaker Learning

LearnPhilanthropy is a network of people from all parts of philanthropy who are working together to create a stronger,more rational,and less fragmented system for grantmaker learning than we have today.

LearnPhilanthropy’s Promise

  • Learning resources from multiple providers all in one place.
  • A searchable catalogue—for you,your staff,your members.
  • A wider audience for content providers.
  • Peer learning and advice from experts.
  • Field learning data to guide new offerings.
  • Learning as essential to effectiveness.

What We’re Up To

LearnPhilanthropy is building the learning hub to deliver on this promise. We have completed a prototype of our searchable catalogue,and are currently field-testing it. If you’d like to play with this early version,contact us at info@learnphilanthropy.net.

We’d love to have your input. We continue to learn about learning,develop resources,and spread the word.
