NGOs Meet their Match on the Net
A new contact-finding service has been launched on the Internet to encourage
partnerships between organisations in Central and Eastern Europe, the Newly
Independent States and the UK.
Contact Finder -http:www.charityknowhow.org - will provide advice and
information to NGOs on all aspects of relationship building, from identifying
needs to communicating with potential partners.
Developed by Charity Know How (CKH), a grant making body that supports the
non-profit sector in the region, Contact Finder is designed to signpost
organisations seeking contacts with other organisations working on specific
issues or in specific countries.
Contact Finder will offer a step-by-step guide to seeking appropriate partners,
looking at why partnerships - should be considered in the first place, the types
of partners that should be sought and how they can be identified.
Contact Finder also provides tools for assessing your organisation and
identifying its specific needs and offers links to the sites of non-profit and
funding organisations throughout Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly
Independent States, as well as to UK-based organisations, supporting groups in
the region.
CKH has contributed over £3 million to developing partnerships and the exchange
of skills and expertise between non-profit organisations. A unique
collaboration of private donors and government, CKH brings together the
Department for International Development, CAF (Charities Aid Foundation) and a
number of leading British Foundations and Trusts.
Through its grant making programme, and now its new Contact Finder service, CKH
aims to provide opportunities for learning between organisations and across
borders.
Charity Know How would like to see this service grow and develop in the coming
years and will be encouraging visitors to make an active contribution by adding
information and indicating further appropriate web sites of their own.
If you have further suggestions on websites which should be added to the Contact
Finder service, please contact us via email at the following specific address :
contactfinder@caf.charitynet.org
Please note that we are unable to add individual NGOs to our list, but we are
keen to integrate further lists which can assist organisations to find
counterparts.
If your organisation provides information and support to the Non Profit sector
in your country, please publicise this new service. If you wish to link our
website to yours, then please do so, letting us know as a courtesy.
