Welcome to the Funder Platform, designed to provide Funders with a comprehensive understanding of their nonprofit partners' progress and support needs at the cohort level, following the principles of Trust-based Philanthropy. This support documentation will guide you through the key features of the Funder Platform, empowering you to enhance your grantmaking processes and strengthen your relationships with nonprofit partners.
Funder Academy
As a funder, you also have full access to the extensive Resilia Academy library used by your nonprofit partners. This allows you to see firsthand the articles, courses, and resources they are utilizing for capacity building. This transparency enables you to understand their learning focus, identify common needs across your cohort, and provide targeted recommendations or suggest specific resources that could benefit their growth and development, fostering a more informed and supportive partnership.
Leveraging Engagement Dashboards for Real-time Insights
The Resilia Funder Platform features dynamic Engagement Dashboards that provide you with aggregated, real-time data on your grantee portfolio's interaction with the platform. This allows you to understand:
- Capacity Building Needs: Identify common priorities and areas where your grantees are seeking support, as indicated by their engagement with the Needs Assessment.
- Resilia Academy Engagement: See which topics and resources within the Resilia Academy are most popular among your grantees, indicating their learning interests and needs.
- Progress towards Goals: Monitor the collective progress your grantees are making towards their mission-driven goals.

These dashboards empower you to proactively offer relevant support and resources based on the collective needs and engagement patterns of your grantees.
Visualizing Collective Impact with Impact Dashboards

You can easily onboard your grantee cohorts onto the platform at any time, regardless of the number of organizations. This streamlined process ensures your grantees can quickly access the resources and tools they need.
