$4 million in 48 hours raised in North Texas from 8,000 donors, helping them find appropriate local charities through on online portal, DonorBridge.
Communities Foundation of Texas created DonorBridge with national software leader, Blackbaud, in partnership with the Center for Nonprofit Management in Dallas and in collaboration from the Institute for Urban Policy Research at The University of Texas at Dallas. Support is also provided by The Dallas Foundation.
DonorBridge is different from other nonprofit research tools available today. Information is objective and specific to the region. It goes beyond simple financial statements to include easy-to-understand insights regarding each organization’s management, governance and the effectiveness of its programs.

Who better than community foundations and centers for nonprofit management to create and maintain such portals? Seems a clear extension of their core competencies. The other story here seems to be about collaboration among local nonprofits via established community "hubs." Who competes and who collaborates in your philanthropic ecosystem?
