Develop a KnowHow section

Are you a passionate expert about one of our topics? We are looking for people to help us build sections of the website. These Special Interest Group Leaders (SIGL) will work with us to develop knowhow in a wide range of topics.

Being a SIGL will involve helping us build a section by writing, sourcing and publishing content and starting discussion topics. SIGLs will also have an ongoing role once the section is built to ensure content is up-to-date as well as facilitating and joining discussions.

SIGLs will have a profile/ biog on the site and will have the opportunity to have their own blog where they can regularly write about points of interest about their subject area. SIGL will receive training about how to publish to the site and comprehensive author guidelines.

If you are an expert in one of these subject areas and have the time and passion to get involved, please get in touch. This role is unpaid other than basic expenses. We will be appointing our next round of SIGLs in February.

Available topics

• Day-to-day operations
• Loans and investments
• Trading and shops
• Funding and income - issues and challenges
• Other ways to raise money
• Public policy
• Consultations
• Trends and issues
• Working together

Other ways to contribute to the site

We are also looking for:

• articles about how to do something (eg risk management, build an online campaign, recruit volunteers etc)
• case studies about something your organisation has learnt
• examples of pieces of work you have done which will help others (eg HR policy, marketing plan, rebranding checklist)
• contributions to online discussions.

Get in touch

Please contact Madeleine Sugden Content Manager at knowhow@city.ac.uk to find out more about any of the above. Please specify your areas of interest and your experience in this area.

The site is intended for anyone and everyone who is part of a nonprofit organisation, whether small or large organisation, whether expert or new to the sector. Content therefore needs to be written with this diverse audience in mind.

The site is being developed towards a full launch in April 2009.
