Philanthropic Capacity-Building Resource Database  

If you are a foundation looking to start capacity-building activities for your grantees or interested in improving your existing efforts, the Philanthropic Capacity-Building Resource Database is a great place to learn more from peers in the field. PCBR features reports on more than 300 capacity-building endeavors in place at U.S. foundations, including The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, The Joyce Foundation, The Pew Charitable Trusts, and Open Society Institute. The reports provide details on funders’ capacity-building efforts like technical assistance, evaluation, and leadership development. In addition to the database, PCBR responds to inquiries from foundations in search of further information on conference presentations, speakers, and technical assistance needs. PCBR can also be a great starting point as a research tool for nonprofits looking for capacity-building support.
