Capaciteria.org: A Free Database of Peer Reviewed Nonprofit Capacity Resources
An online directory with 100 categories of resources designed to assist nonprofits in all aspects of strengthening leadership, achieving sustainability and meeting stakeholder needs.
Capaciteria is a searchable database of resources designed to assist
nonprofit capacity building. Topics include finance, facilities
management, volunteer management, philanthropic services, fundraising,
non-profit jobs, technology, and more. Resources come from the
nonprofit, commercial, government and educational sector.
Like Google, search results are weighted by popularity by nonprofit users. Members can add comments and use the 'Favorites' feature to personalize their list of easily accessible links. Membership is free.
Developer Jonathan Peizer, Program Director of the Open Society Institute (OSI), has written about the importance of capacity and its unique context in the nonprofit sector for some years now. Through his work with NGOs and philanthropy
he became aware of many useful nonprofit capacity resources and
envisioned an easy place to access them all. He says, "It is an
easy to use, utilitarian resource with sector-wide applicability that
did not require years or cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to
create."
