Fundraising

Fundraising can be hard work and frustrating, but also very rewarding. It requires effective project planning and management and communication, plus creativity and good business practices.
 

Fundraising is about asking donors to contribute financially to help achieve your organisation’s mission. There are a variety of funding sources and a many ways in which organisations can raise funds. These vary between organisations depending upon their needs and regulations.

When you approach a potential donor, be clear about whether you are applying for unrestricted funding or sponsorship for a specific activity. Always thank donors, but ask for permission before publicising any financial contributions.
