Sybil talks about how to participate in philanthropic networks because you should never fund and issue you care about all alone - there are others who are also thinking about solutions to the same problems you are trying to solve. Sybil explains three types of funder collaborations: general philanthropic groups that help you improve your craft, issue-centric philanthropic networks that help you improve knowledge about a given topic, and campaign-centric philanthropic collaborations. She offers examples and links to resources to help you find a philanthropic collaboration in the area you're interested in. She also shares her tips on finding a mentor in your area and finding a partner in your area to start a collaboration.

• Three different types of funder collaborations
