Description

The project "Consolidation of Non-governmental Organizations through Fundraising and Results Efficiency" addresses the problem of poor financial sustainability of 10 less developed NGOs in underserved geographical areas by addressing the need to improve fundraising skills, digital transformation, efficiency of internal procedures, exchange of best practices, networking and network collaboration.

The project is needed to strengthen the capacity of less developed NGOs to raise funds and promote their social programs in the community. The Civil Society Development Foundation’s report states a concentration of most revenues to a small number of organizations, with 82% of total revenues in the non-governmental sector being attracted by 8% of NGOs.

The target group is underdeveloped NGOs from small urban and rural areas, which implement or want to address intergenerational projects in education and social fields, with an average annual budget below € 200,000, dependent on several main sources of funding, with a small team of employees (under 10) and who are open to financial consolidation.

The NGOs selected within the project will be assisted, through training measures and know-how transfer (digital communication, fundraising, project writing), coaching for the development of strategies, tools and fundraising techniques, digital transformation through branding measures, website development, social media and promotional materials, organization of online / offline fundraising campaigns, efficiency of internal procedures, development of events and networking actions for donor cultivation and for the exchange of good practices for financial consolidation.

The results of the project, detailed at the level of each activity, converge towards the capacity of 10 targeted NGOs in diversifying funding sources to strengthen their sustainability.
