1. What is the Nonprofit Builder?
The Nonprofit Builder is a resource website for capacity building (organisational development) of nonprofit organisations. Its aim is to make it easier for Oak grantees to access capacity building support, and as part of a wider project to make nonprofit capacity building more efficient, collaborative and accessible. It currently contains a directory of vetted consultants who provide organisational development services to nonprofits, a directory of trainings, and a resource library.
2. Who can access the Nonprofit Builder?
Only logged-in members can access the contents of the Nonprofit Builder, with the exception of the Resource library, which is open to the public. Members include foundations (currently Oak Foundation, PackardFoundation and Laudes Foundation), nonprofits (currently only the grantees of these foundations upon invitation) and consultants in the capacity builder database.
3. Personal data we collect
Personal Data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
The Personal Data that you provide directly to us through nonprofitbuilder.org will be apparent from
the context in which you provide the data. In particular:
- When you register for a Nonprofit Builder account we collect your full name, email address, and account log-in credentials.
- When you fill-in our online form to publish a consultant’s profile in the directory, we collect your full name, work email, country of residence, and anything else you tell us about your skills and work experience.
- When you register for our mailing list, we will collect your full name and work email.
If you are a consultant, in the future we may also collect information about your work with nonprofit members as part of our quality assurance. This information is strictly confidential and will be transmitted through an encrypted channel and stored encrypted in our database. We also use a WordPress plugin called WP Security Audit Log that allows us to track activities of logged in visitors. We use it primarily to detect intrusion attempts but we also use it a basic tool to count visitors and see which pages are most visited (17.02.2020). We have also installed a plugin called GEO my WP which allows consultants to specify their location on a map, so that potential clients can easily see consultants located in their area (17.02.2020).
4. How we use personal data
We use your personal data to allow members to log into the website and access its databases. If you are a consultant, we use the personal data you contribute to your profile to allow you visitors to understand your services and to contact you to hire you.
5. How we disclose personal data
Nonprofit Builder does not sell or rent Personal Data to marketers or unaffiliated third
parties.
We share your Personal Data with trusted entities, as outlined below.
- Our Users. We share Personal Data with Users as necessary to maintain a User account and provide the Services.
- Service providers. We share Personal Data with a limited number of our service providers. We have service providers that provide services on our behalf, such as identity verification services, website hosting, software development, website maintenance, email delivery, and auditing services. These service providers may need to access Personal Data to perform their services. We authorize such service providers to use or disclose the Personal Data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. Our service providers are predominantly located in United States of America, such as WP Engine.

We share Personal Data as we believe necessary: (i) to comply with applicable law; (ii) to enforce our contractual rights; (iii) to protect the rights, privacy, safety and property of Imaginate, you or others; and (iv) to respond to requests from courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, and other public and government authorities, which may include authorities outside your country of residence.
