RESOURCES TOOL BOX
Knowledge is a core resource for those actively involved in development.
Many people and organizations working in the field of development recognize
that better knowledge and experience exchange could make their work more
effective and efficient.
Within the development community we are striving for improved knowledge
exchange, more effective learning from past experiences, and sharing within
and between organizations, projects and programs. Through this knowledge
exchange we are building our support network.

SchoolGrants site contains grant information useful to K-12

private grant opportunities available to public and private elementary and
secondary schools and school districts.

in developing proposals.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy is the newspaper of the nonprofit world.
Published every other week, it is the #1 news source for charity leaders,
fundraisers, grant makers, and other people involved in the philanthropic
enterprise. A subscription includes full access to the website and news
updates by e-mail - all at no extra charge. The website offers the complete
contents of the new issue, an archive of articles from the past two years,
and more than four years' worth of grant listings -- all fully searchable.
Some of this material is available to the public but the really useful
stuff is reserved for Chronicle subscribers.
