Collaborative Technologies. Helping Institutions to Work Together Better.

With support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Monitor Institute partnered with the Foundation Center to produceHarnessing Collaborative Technologies, a field-wide study of the emerging technological tools that can be used to help funders work together better. The report provides philanthropists with a framework for making sense of the range of different tools that are now available to help them collaborate, and offers guidance on how to make thoughtful choices about investing in the development of new tools that facilitate collaborative work. It dives deeply into the wide array of collaborative needs related to the philanthropic process and highlights more than 170 different online tools that can help funders share information and work together.
