Looking for a fundraiser? Would you like to be a fundraiser?
As an extension of our efforts to build capacity in and professionalize the fundraising sector, our next step is a Fundraising Certificate Course for individuals who are looking for specialized skills to work in this area. We hope to assist them in building a strong foundation with relevant skills and practical tools for achieving success. We also hope to fill the demand created by NGOs looking for capable fundraisers - at present many organizations rely upon an untrained staff person, or a consultant, when they may need a full-time fundraiser with real skills, SAFRG hopes to help such organizations through the provision of this course.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- critically analyse the strengths and
weaknesses of the organisation’s existing resource base
- formulate a simple plan on how to
diversify the resource base
- identify main funding sources and
appropriate techniques to secure funding
- understand why communication is a
prerequisite to fundraising and how to promote credibility
- set-up
effective systems for reporting and communicating with donors
The course is developed for the South Asian context, and at present is particularly related to India. The course includes material on the legal and tax environment, trends in the non-profit sector, specific case studies and work examples. The course will take place over 20 days, and be led by a faculty drawn from current leaders in the fundraising sector.
