Proaktor is an e-learning platform for the nonprofit sector in the Western Balkans
We believe that the non-profit sector is one of the key drivers of social change. At the same time, digital transformation, the growing need for community involvement, and complex donor requirements present new challenges for organizations.
That is why Proaktor was created as a place to acquire practical and applicable knowledge. Through online courses and educational content, it helps organizations and individuals engaged in the non-profit sector to improve their work and drive change in their communities.
Proaktor was launched by the Catalyst Foundation. As of July 2026, Catalyst and Civic Initiatives are combining their knowledge and experience to jointly maintain and develop the platform, providing even stronger support to civil society organizations. This collaboration links Catalyst Foundation’s expertise in digital tools, philanthropy, and fundraising with Civic Initiatives’ decades-long experience in capacity building for organizations, informal groups, and activists.

What’s the difference between self-paced and blended learning?
No saving dates, no webinars in wrong time zones. The courses are video-based, and the videos themselves are bite-sized and viewable on any platform. This allows the learner to engage with the course whenever and wherever they can. Besides the videos, the courses provide actionable materials, quizzes and assignments that make sure you are interacting with the course and applying what you’ve learned.
But, often, that isn’t enough. The convenience of self-paced learning also means giving up the feedback, mentorship and live interaction of a live workshop setting. This is why Proaktor uses the blended learning approach and has the best of both worlds. Besides accessing the courses, premium users can schedule live consultations with our mentors and get feedback and advice related to coursework as well as their real-world projects.
