In two words, Capaciteria is a huge database of resources. It’s free and designed to help nonprofits find all necessary information to build their institutional capacity. The service is searchable and categorized into 10 main categories – e.g. Information & Communications Technology, Organizational Development, Legal & Tax Resources, Public Relations & Advocacy, Human Resources, Fund Raising or Promotion & Marketing, etc. Each category is divided into many subcategories in which you can find thousands of links to the essential resources.

Being a registered user (Capaticeria member) allows you to suggest new links to others resources or maybe to your website if you consider it helpful, as well as comment and rate individual resource. The system measure the popularity of the links, whereas webmaster marks selected links as “Editor’s choice”. Individuals may also decide to moderate certain topics where they are expert in.


While many of the resources are themselves nonprofits, Capaciteria also includes any government, philanthropic, multilateral or private sector resource that might be helpful to the support of nonprofit support. To date most of the resources are websites, however there also newsites, articles, reports, blogs, wikis, groups, lists, etc.. of interest.


Over the last year Capaciteria has almost doubled its capacity information resources to 2500 adding articles, books and guides to its list of websites, and adding about 30 new sub-categories to its existing 120 categories of nonprofit capacity resource information.
