This community of practice is entirely volunteer-run and hosts organizations from across the globe. To date, they have created a community blog, Google Group and a resource-rich wiki, and have held mixed-reality events, workshops, and regular weekly town hall meetings. This international community is a hub for charities to share best practices, work together on innovative ways to benefit their causes, and network with organizations from across the globe.
