What is a Knowledge Philanthropist?
Vantage Point innovated the concept known as “Knowledge Philanthropy”— a practice which engages skilled and passionate volunteers from the community to increase capacity and add expertise to Not-for-Profit organizations.
Our Knowledge Philanthropists (“KPs”) contribute their specific expertise and experience towards our mission: lifting the capacity of not-for-profit leaders.
They offer time, energy, knowledge, and skills to Vantage Point, and are key members of our integrated talent team.
Who are our Knowledge Philanthropists?
Our KPs are professionals who voluntarily and generously share knowledge with Vantage Point clients as consultants, advisers, professional coaches, and mentors.
They are proven experts in their field and deliver most of our programs in topic areas such as strategic planning, board governance, organizational assessment, Financial Governance, HR practices, and leadership.
Who can become a Knowledge Philanthropist?
Anyone who would like to pass on their expertise and who has an interest in the not-for-profit sector can connect with us to become a Knowledge Philanthropist!
Vantage Point can also accommodate individuals who are completing community service; for example: interns, and career and personal planning students.
The most important part is their drive to enhance leadership capacity in the sector – and in turn enhance the sector as a whole.
