Welcome to the NGO Learning Website

Gregory Cohen created this website to share resources he has identified for his training work and to capture  share information on best practices in knowledge management for the members of InsideNGO.  These organizations and articles are also important for the work of NPOKI, a "Knowledge Cooperative" of health-related NGOs and funders which Greg advises. The pages Everything But Money: Fundraising For Nonprofit Ventures and Ethics For Nonprofits also supplement Greg's other trainings through Cause Effective and elsewhere.

Nonprofits have approached collaboration or information sharing, particularly using internet tools as a resource, through several disciplines. There is substantial overlap. One is through the creation of LearningCommunities. Another, more focused on the tools of collaboration, is KnowledgeManagement. I have provided links to efforts by nonprofit organizations around the world to share information on these disciplines. My emphasis is on international development, although there are pioneering efforts on specific topics including general nonprofit management, leadership development and capacity-building. At this point, I have not included the technology-specific technical assistance groups, which are well documented elsewhere, starting with TechSoup, N-Ten, Idealware and Npower.
