Where and how do I find and choose tools and platforms that match
my needs and capacities?

The Foundation provides advice, guidance and negotiated
preferential access to selected third-party online solutions and
platforms.

Our 2020 brief on effective online interaction identifies choice of online collaboration platforms and tools as a critical element where people and organisations struggle to find what they need. Specific activities we provide include:

Selecting solutions – The Foundation interacts with online collaboration tool and platform providers, negotiating preferential access for its partners to use some platforms and is exploring collective access to selected widely-used tools. Free to partners.

Community incubator and support – As part of joint projects, the Foundation works with partners to incubate online groups. Free to partners.
