Donation Supports NGO Leadership Development
SAN FRANCISCO—May 22, 2006—Ninth House Inc. has donated
its Leadership Development Solutions Suite and just-in-time learning
series, Instant Advice, to Learning for International Non-Governmental
Organizations (LINGOs). The donation is intended to support LINGOs’ efforts
to cultivate leaders at international NGOs that quickly respond to
and provide humanitarian relief to emergencies in more than 60 countries.
According to the announcement, international NGOs are experiencing significant
growth to provide humanitarian assistance to more than 750 million people
worldwide. Member organizations employing thousands of employees are
facing the imminent retirement of senior staff in the next five years.

combines content business experts, interactive simulations, and online
learning. Used as a reinforcement tool with Ninth House’s courses,
Instant Advice provides more than 450 Web-based videos intended to
