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 Knowledge Management (KM) Collaborative, PSOs have reached unprecedented levels of collaboration, pooling resources to create software platforms for association management and content management, developing peer-learning networks, and lifting common standards. 

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.
