The newly released Giving USA 2023 report provides continued cause for concern about our nation’s ongoing decline in charitable giving from individuals and in the number of individual givers. These data lend more urgency for the need to pass the Charitable Act, which would incentivize millions more Americans to give and support their communities—not just the shrinking number of Americans who itemize their taxes.

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.
Each Partner organization is required to sign the KM Collaborative’s Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) annually. The MOA details the fiduciary and legal requirements of each Partner and the Forum. All KM Partners should be familiar with the terms detailed in this agreement.

Please use this template as an annual KM budgeting guide and adjust it accordingly for your organization. It is meant to be used alongside your organization's annual budget, including your PSO's annual Forum membership dues. Forum membership is intentionally not part of this template since membership dues do not include KM annual fees and related expenses. Your organization may want to depreciate some of the costs related to your KM work. Please consult your finance/accounting team about how to edit this template to align with your internal accounting process and best practices.
