Description
The project seeks to answer the need for support for sexual education (underserved sector) and to develop the sustainability of Romania’s most successful NGO with a track record in promoting and implementing sexual education - SEX vs THE STORK Association. After a process of internal evaluation and analysis of the organisational development matrix, we have recognized the need of sustainability by providing a constant income that will allow us to hire the team members, providing their work continuity and financial rewards that match their effort; up until now, SEX vs THE STORK has not had any employees, just collaborators and volunteers.
There have been identified two ways of responding to this need: (1) by multiplying the source of income in a relevant manner (at least 2 of the sources of financing representing 20% of the organisation’s annual budget); (2) by creating fundraising mechanisms that will involve: knowledge transfer in the fundraising area of expertise, for all the team members, developing dedicated human resources (hiring a fundraiser) and a donor care infrastructure (donor management software), planning and implementing long term fundraising strategies (for both individuals and companies), developing an intensive 3 months fundraising campaign.
The project will contribute to the development of the Romanian sexual education sector, by improving the sustainability of Romania’s most successful NGO within this sector (SEX vs THE STORK) as well as to the implementation of the intensive fundraising campaign. The goal of the campaign is to finance 5 educational resources for comprehensive sexual education. These resources will include lesson plans, educational videos and teacher’s guides and will be available to use both in schools (in the absence of any official course programme for sexual education) and in the NGO sector, for teenagers and parents alike.
