United Philanthropy Forum (Forum) has cultivated a network of national and regional philanthropy-serving organizations (PSOs) to jointly develop technology, share costs, and leverage each other’s knowledge and capabilities. Through the KM Collaborative (aka Drupal-Salesforce Platform or technology platform), PSOs have reached unprecedented levels of collaboration, pooling resources to create software platforms for association management and content management, developing peer-learning networks, a shared Knowledgebase, and lifting common standards.

Bill Corkill of the Council of Michigan Foundations (CMF) provided a substantial overview of the new Drupal 9 website during KM Office Hours on August 17, 2022. The website is powered by the Forum's KM Collaborative and integrated with Salesforce. Thank you to Bill and Val for collaborating on this presentation and answering all the great questions raised!

Some KM Partners may require hands-on assistance in areas such as data migration, configuration, custom training, launch assistance, etc., which are classified as Consulting Services. The Forum staff provides these services for an hourly fee*, exclusive of work performed by the KM Collaborative vendors at an hourly rate structure outlined below. Consulting Services projects estimated for 5 hours or less do not require a signed contract with a KM Partner; while not requiring a signed agreement, these hours are still billable.

This is a recording of the KM Collaborative's September 6, 2023 Office Hours call featuring the Intro to Salesforce Training.

How do philanthropy-serving organizations (PSOs) partner together on programming? These partnerships take place along a continuum with varying levels of time and resource commitment.
