FundRaising Strategies
for NGOs
Fundraising is more than securing funds – it is about becoming findable, credible, and impactful in a crowded and fast-changing funding landscape. This hands-on training supports NGOs to strengthen their resource mobilisation practice and develop a clear, strategic, and actionable fundraising approach. Participants combine strategic thinking with practical tools to build sustainable donor relationships, diversify funding sources, and align fundraising with organisational impact. The training is highly practice-oriented and results in a concrete fundraising strategy tailored to your organisation.
This course is designed for resource mobilizers, fundraiser’s, project or program managers, and everyone working for civil society organizations with an interest in resource mobilization and fundraising.
