Candid Learning
Candid Learning is your new single destination for trainings, resources, and learning experiences to improve the way you do your work.
Candid’s live trainings, on-demand learning resources, and tools that were previously found on GrantSpace will now be a part of Candid Learning. Because Candid has learning tools for grantmakers and grantseekers, the site is designed to be a destination for both audiences, and includes pathways to content from GrantCraft and GlassPockets. Through sharing peer wisdom, case studies, and thought leadership, GlassPockets and GrantCraft offer learning experiences to improve philanthropic effectiveness. In the future, we’ll further integrate these sites into Candid Learning, aiming to bridge resources and conversations across both sides of the grantmaking table.

We’ll verify your email address and send you an invitation at which time you’ll create a unique account that will give you access to the entire Skillshare library for the length of your checkout. Skillshare will save your account information and class progress between library checkouts, and you’ll still be able to use the account to access their catalog of free classes. Checkouts will be rotated on a first-come, first-serve basis, but customers will have at least three weeks of access.
