By participating in our expert network, experts have the opportunity to interact with donors of all levels and therefore have the potential to influence the flow of donations in their respective sectors.What is the expectation for an expert to participate?
As a general policy, we will not contact an expert more than once per month with a request for a 30 minute phone call with a donor. However, the expert can request to be contacted more or less frequently. Experts always have the right to decline a request for a meeting.

The expert may request that the conversation remain confidential between the user and the expert.
Experts will not be contacted more than 1/month to answer a user’s question. However, experts may request to be contacted more or less frequently and can always refuse to participate.
Gathering Feedback
At the end of the exchange with the user, we ask the expert to complete a very brief evaluation form so we can improve this process in the future.
In 3 – 6 months, Philanthropedia will do its best to report back to the expert about the impact their conversation had on that user.
