Evolution of Fundraising in India??
• Every organization wants to raise more and spend less to do it
• Every organization can raise more by being more strategic
• But most organisations are dependent on Foreign donors and Government
What is Fundraising?
“The art of getting people
to give you what you want, where and when you want it,
for the work of you do”
Fundraising is not only about money-It is about RELATIONSHIPS

Governance/Board/Leadership?
No Investment Strategic Direction Lack of Training facility Not perceived as CAREER

Limitations with current situation

lot-- don't need local support• Public is unaware of social issues/needs/role• Boards and leadership are seldom actively
supportive• Every one wants big bucks without working
towards it

People who benefit from economic growth cannot be oblivious of their obligations to the state.
-Sonia Gandhi
• We need not just a literate youth but a skilled youth, with skills which can fetch them gainful employment. As our economy booms…..
Our PM Aug 06
• A country of dazzling prosperity is also a country of dehumanizing poverty. A land of perpetual struggle is also a land of bursting opportunities.

Indian Scene contd..
Media - state of the art mass communication available
NGO – sector is big but not very well organised
Lack of support for FundraisingFundraising Territory
almost virgin
ScenarioScenario Fundraisers - Only a fraction of 1% of
NGO’s have one. This need to change
India needs a “Leap Frog Strategy” for creating fundraisers urgently
Quantity-Quickly-Quality
Writing on the wallWriting on the wall
Self Sustainability – Everyone identifies that there is an immediate need
Promoting CredibilityPromoting CredibilityAll over the world NGOs have their own
fundraising agenda and their credibility is evaluated by the number of ‘Individual Supporters‘ ??
Low percentage of the donors money reaches the community
People give because
they are asked!

Make Fundraising a PRIORITY. “The route to crores of Rupees and
lakhon naukrian is through Fundraising”
“No one can stop an idea whose time has come”-Our PM
Can we do without this? Only at our own peril.
The best way for any NGO to get more money is to show that the
money it raised is well used. which means
clever fund-raising, cautious spending and the precise
measurement of outcomes
• People often describe Activities, instead of Achievements.
• Activities do not make headlines-Achievements do
