WINGSForum 2014: The Power of Networks is almost here! In just 35 days we’ll convene in Istanbul with key constituents representing grantmakers and support organizations from every region of the world to discuss current trends in the sector. The February issue of Dispatch focuses on network collaboration, beginning with an exclusive interview with WINGSForum keynote speaker and Principal of NetworkingAction, Steve Waddell.

We look at learning networks, communities and data, and share updates on our Data Charter and Infrastructure Report initiatives. We have an exciting lineup of events, and we give a special welcome to our newest members: Consultative Group on Biological Diversity (CGBD); Giving Northern Ireland; Inyathelo – The South African Institute for Advancement; and Private Philanthropy Circle South Africa.
