Description
The project "Today small NGOs, tomorrow sustainable NGOs" aims to address the problem of lack of financial sustainability of small NGOs in Romania. The project will address the issue through the activities carried out in 21 months, they are meant to improve the competencies for promoting and developing the financial sustainability of the NGOs. The project will start with a study visit to Norway, which will be attended by 3 experts from the promoter. The visit aims to improve the skills of development and implementation of strategies and fundraising campaigns for these experts. The acquired knowledge will be adapted and transposed in a course support and other tools for increasing the capacity of the NGOs, on which the Romanian and Donor State experts will work. All tools will be used and disseminated in a course given for 15 NGOs. Following the course, 15 NGOs’ representatives will acquire basic knowledge in: effective communication and promotion, fundraising strategy, development of crowdfunding campaigns. At the end of the course they will have the ability to use the tools received to increase the capacity of their own NGO. The acquired knowledge will be put into practice by implementing 2 fundraising campaigns each. In order to carry out these campaigns, the NGOs will participate in mentoring sessions offered by the promoter, who will follow and guide NGOs in carrying out successful campaigns. Meanwhile, within the project, a sub-page, dedicated to NGOs, is being developed and tested on the applicant''s crowdfunding platform. After the implementation of this sub-page, 15 crowdfunding campaigns will be created and run on the platform. An important component of the project is the sustainability activity. Within that activity, the applicant wants to carry out an impact assessment of the project and also to encourage the implementation of a strategic partnership between the beneficiary NGOs.
