Need for the course
Do you frequently ask yourself any of the following questions?
• How can we raise large sums of projects funds in a sustainable way?
• Why don’t we always get the kind of funding we need for our projects?
• Why do some organizations have tens of donors why we struggle to get even a few to fund us
• Can we actually design cutting edge project proposals to attract a wide array of donor agencies?
• How can we leverage the power of social media to create new funding streams for our organization?
• Which are the most effective ways of managing donor grants and maintaining excellent donor relationships?
Donor resources are usually limited and in great demand from competing needs. Consequently, donors have to decide where best to use their resources in terms of geographical area, region, problem issue or challenge. This means that your organization needs to contextualize your project in such a way that you show that the problem or opportunity being addressed fits the donor concerns, that tackling the problem or using the opportunity in the area or areas defined in the project is important, and that the potential benefits to the targeted beneficiaries are significant and sustainable to fit within the broader aim of the project.
When writing project proposals for purposes of accessing donor funds, many writers confuse it with thesis writing and miss out on donor funding. This training will equip you with skills on the nature, extent and quality of information you need to provide the donor with when seeking grants from them.
Proposal Writing and Fund raising activities form the backbone of any development organization; hence, for sustainable strategies, organizations must enhance their skills on fundraising and proposal writing by equipping their key members of staff with the emerging and modern trends in Proposal Writing and Fund Raising today.
OBJECTIVE: To increase access to diverse sources of donor funds through the upgrade of key competencies in proposal writing and fund raising among key personnel in NGOs, INGOs, FBOs, County governments, colleges and universities, research institutions and other professionals in the development sector.
