Description
Professionalism, collaboration and sustainability are basic elements of a civil society that has a considerable impact on the development of society. If we look at the number of NGOs in Harghita County (based on the national register of NGOs are more than 2,500), we can see that the county has a developed civil sector. If we look more closely at these NGOs, and look for those that have hired person, constant activity, have an updated web page, have income from various resources, we reach a very small number of NGOs. Most NGOs in the county have fundraising activities only by writing projects to the County Council. Through this project we aim to develop and stabilize a civil triangle between our foundation, The House and Atelier associations, through which we contribute both to the development of the financial sustainability of these three NGOs, and to the diversification of funding sources of approx. 60 NGOs from Harghita County. The experience gained by OSCF in the last twelve years in the field of fundraising, as well as the collaboration with dozens of NGOs in the Odorhei region has shown that there are ways in which we can successfully contribute to the diversification of NGO funding sources. The co-coordinators of the project from the Ciuc and Gheorgheni regions are resource persons who have been active in the civil sector for a long time and are dedicated to develop and stabilize their NGOs, as well as to support other NGOs in this endeavour. Their entrepreneurial experience is a solid foundation that will support them a lot in this endeavour. The project will involve the transfer of know-how from OSCF to the two partner NGOs. We will stabilize organizational governance and develop fundraising strategies for both NGOs. At the same time, within the project, we will hold a series of sports fundraising events, which will contribute to the diversification of funding sources of several NGOs from the three regions.
