STRENGTHENING OUR ORGANISATIONAL CAPACITY
We want Philea to be a caring, learning and resilient organisation, and we want our resources and ambitions to be aligned.
To move toward our vision as an organisation, we need strong supporting platforms, processes and policies that enable our staff to develop their competencies and deliver their work.
Launch of a new staff appraisal process
We undertook a new appraisal process to evaluate our staff’s job performance, focusing on strengths, areas for improvement and future development goals. The assessment ensured alignment with organisational values and helped promote professional growth. The primary goal of the appraisal process was to evaluate individual performances, attitudes and adherence to our organisational culture. By providing structured feedback, our team received guidance for professional development, while the organisation ensured a fair and transparent approach to salary adjustments and promotions. For the first time, we also introduced a 360° feedback exercise for our managers.
Strengthening knowledge management and internal collaboration
Efficient knowledge management is the backbone of any knowledge-driven organisation. This year, we enhanced our Odoo platform by introducing new modules, including Knowledge/Intranet development, CRM, Helpdesk and Good Stories. These efforts were complemented by tutorials to facilitate their integration and best uses.
To maintain data integrity, we organised two dedicated cleaning days, while policy documents on publications and confidentiality, as well as interactive quizzes, reinforced best practices. Our four Knowledge Management Circle meetings fostered internal dialogue on knowledge-sharing strategies, and surveys on IT needs and internal communications provided crucial feedback to help us improve.

Membership fees
cover the basic expenses needed for running those activities essential to any membership network.
Our sources of funding
Project and programme funding
allows us to go beyond basic services by nurturing and running thematic networks, communities of practice and other initiatives that are conceived and developed by groups of members interested in specific areas of work.
Core funding
not only contributes to all of our activities, including to networks and communities – it frees us to be much more strategic and forward looking, beyond service delivery.
Core funders
Core funding is an essential source of flexible funding for Philea, allowing us to use funds where they are needed most. It gives us the space to plan longer term, think systematically, respond to emerging needs, innovate and ensure that we continue to add value and remain relevant to the needs of our members.
To show our appreciation to our core funders for their vital support, we invite them to participate in our CEO exchange which organises two online meetings and one in-person meeting per year; we organise annual touchpoints to share advance information or invitations to exclusive activities; and we give our core funders visibility and recognition in key Philea fora.
Thank you to all our core funders, we couldn't do it without you!

Call to action
From community challenges to global crises, philanthropy needs to be at its very best more than ever before - and that means investing in strengthening our sector's infrastructure.
If you believe in Philea's ability to do this, why not become a core donor, support more of our work and help the philanthropic community to build a better today and tomorrow.
