Become a Charter Member of our New Field Partner Program for Designing and Funding Programs and Projects..
Through working with over 500 organizations on field projects we learned that Nonprofit organizations and NGOs worldwide need increased access to:
- cost effective training and consulting in effective project design and management
- new donors and new fundraising opportunities
- how-to information on best practices for programs and projects
- consistent, ongoing technical support during project implementation
Through this learning process, and in our desire to positively impact a greater number of the world’s poor, we have developed a new program that is:
- making our training and consulting programs more accessible to individuals through group funding by their organizations
- providing organizations with training programs that will create organizational uniformity in project design, development and management
- making organization-wide training affordable for grassroots, in-country, international organizations, and northern nonprofits
THE PROGRAM

- half-price training and consultancy group rates

| How does CSDi engage with its field partners? | |
 |
Field Partners work with local communities to develop solutions to community challenges with the ongoing support of CSDi’s training, guidance and consultancy. Through our proven training and consulting process, Field Partners develop real projects, in real time that are fundable, sustainable, and impact driven.
CSDi program facilitators, who have gained their development expertise in face-to-face consulting with nonprofits and NGOs in the field, consult with partner staff on their projects, provide technical support, and help them design, launch and manage their projects. Upon completion of project design, Field Partners can utilize CSDi’s donation pages for soliciting credit card donations for project funding.

CSDi has partnered with development staff from 500 organizations in 149 countries to develop and manage projects impacting over 360,000 people. Their projects have utilized 270 different kinds of solution-oriented activities to address community need. Scan the list to see which would work best for your project.
