These days, it’s not uncommon to hear any kind of online course-provider—MOOC or otherwise—to say that they’re democratizing education. But one organization is making a more substantial attempt at that goal than most. Philanthropy University has a concerted directive: help non-government organizations make a measurable difference, with a focus on the global south. Philanthropy University’s CEO Connor Diemand-Yauman says “Philanthropy University is reimagining capacity building for the digital age… That’s not just a sound bite; it means we’re challenging systematic, deeply-entrenched assumptions and practices about how to best to strengthen civil society, and how to measure that strengthening.”
