Capaciteria - Nonprofit Capacity Resources (ENTER HERE) - this nonprofit capacity resource database is unique for a variety of reasons:
- Initially it already contained almost 1000 of the best non-profit administrative resource links divided into 100+ separate categories/directories (defined below) similar to a Yahoo! catalog . It can be searched Yahoo-style as well. Some categories like facilities management are often left off of other nonprofit capacity directories.
- Users can add, rate and comment on the
capacity resources of nonprofit organizations similar to rating a book on Amazon.com. The real
uniquness of the system is this peer review of resources.
- When searching the database, user ratings and the popularity
of the links are actually taken into account in the order that 'found' items
are displayed to the user, similar to google.
- Capaciteria is easy to navigate and looks like Microsoft's
popular Windows XP desktop.
- There is a forum or message board connected to each resource
directory that allows users to ask each other questions about the particular
topic.
- Significant effort has been made in collecting the resources
that are often most desirable and sought after: nonprofit jobs, donation
and in-kind resources, philanthropy resources, advocacy resources and volunteer
resources in addition to the categories like financial mangement and accounting,
evaluation, telcommunications, human resources and a variety of other catagories
of resources that were added.
- For those with a commitment to open source applications,
while Capaciteria looks very much like a Microsoft XP product it is in fact entirely
designed using open source tools and the code has been modified to mak it look
appealing.
- Foundations, nonprofits, associations, governments, academics and corporations searching for ideas related to not for profit capactity resources will all find this site useful.
Capaciteria's real
utility to you is in its utility to others -- and the commitment people make
to rating or commenting on a neat link they find here or in adding a new useful
one.
- Sure it's nice to have an easily searcheable directory
of useful, targetted links. It's a lot nicer however when someone else has been
here before you and takes the opportunity to give their opinion or rating regarding
a link -- or places a useful question or peice of information in the forum that
you can benefit from keep that in mind before departing Capaciteria and leaving
your oppinions for colleagues in the field. It's a very easy way to make this
resource that much more useable.
- The idea behind Capaciteria is for others
to add useful nonprofit capacity and administrative support links. You have
to start somewhere though, and to make Capaciteria useful from the outset, almost
a thousand unrated links to useful sites were entered.
