Explore licensing income from the knowledge you own.

A separate path for nonprofit research, education, archives, and operations.

Your organization may hold useful material created through years of work. We help you consider buyer interest alongside ownership, contributor agreements, and your mission.

Estimate your data’s value

Start with the material your organization controls.

A curriculum, an environmental research collection, a cultural archive, or a food distribution history each raises different questions. We review the proposed collection on its own merits.

Work through rights and permissions

Education and training

Teacher speaking with students seated at classroom desks

Original curricula, specialist manuals, program methods, and training resources. Identify the authors and any contributor or funder restrictions.

Research and observations

Researchers working beside a microscope in a laboratory

Organization-owned observations, specialist research, and nonpersonal longitudinal records. Check grant agreements and collaborator rights.

Media and cultural archives

Text, photographs, recordings, and publications with suitable commercial-use rights. Owning a physical copy does not establish a right to license its content.

Operational knowledge

Warehousing, facilities, procurement, scheduling, and distribution records that explain the work. Keep private beneficiary circumstances outside the initial discussion.

Answer three questions before going further.

  1. Is there a plausible buyer?

    Nonprofit status alone does not establish demand. The type of collection, its context, and the proposed use need individual review.

  2. Do you hold the necessary rights?

    Identify ownership, privacy commitments, funder conditions, contributor agreements, and the people who can approve a license.

  3. Does the use fit your mission?

    Consider the buyer, permitted uses, obligations, and commercial terms. Your organization decides whether the proposal serves its priorities.

Begin with a description, not personal records.

Tell us about the collection and its purpose. Keep donor lists, beneficiary profiles, children’s information, and private case records out of the website inquiry.
