Summary:

Fundraising is important for every organisation. This guide is an introduction to fundraising as well as a good practice guide. Hard work, enthusiasm and luck are always useful when it comes to fundraising. However, to be sustainable and effective, real success in fundraising in international development is all about having a strong organisation, robust partnerships based on trust, communicating what you do clearly, and being purposeful about attracting and retaining donors or supporters. Such strengths are by no means confined to large, well-resourced International NGOs (INGOs), and even the smallest of organisations can adopt best practice in fundraising.
