Evaluate your NGO's ability to raise funds

Evaluate your NGO's ability to raise funds

Doing a fundraising campaign is not always synonymous with success in raising funds. It is not about being lucky or taking advantage of the good opportunities that arise. From Ágora Social, a fundraising consultancy specializing in the third sector, we are given a series of recommendations that we want to share with you.

The long-term success for an organization to raise funds effectively depends on a set of factors that can directly or indirectly affect the ability of the organization to finance itself. This is achieved thanks to a great team that operates in an appropriate structure and culture, that has money to invest and adequate systems, and that is surrounded by effective communication and a clear strategic direction.


 
Ágora Social lists these five factors that determine the ability to raise funds:
 

1. Human and technical resources

It is advisable that the program for raising funds be managed by well-trained staff with full dedication. It is also recommended that those who perform this function have some training or experience in marketing, social communication, public relations or business studies.
 

2. Organization

It is advisable to maintain a fluid communication between the heads of the different departments to encourage cooperation. How staff is motivated to give their best is key. Therefore, it is more important to have a good system than with exceptional people.
 

3. Internal culture

The organizations that are most successful in fundraising are organizations that learn quickly and continually evaluate their approaches through experience and transform it into knowledge for the other members of the organization.
 

4. Money and systems

The budget to raise funds must be generous as long as you have confidence that you will provide more money than it has cost. Therefore, the budget must be flexible.
 

5. Strategic thinking and communication

It is very important to elaborate an argument to use before potential donors that detail what we are going to tell you. Fundraising is communication aimed at persuading donors.

Cotxeres-Casinet wins the Web Awards for Culture Projects of iWith.org

Cotxeres-Casinet wins the Web Awards for Culture Projects of iWith.org

We have already won the Web Awards for Culture Projects at iWith.org: Cotxeres de Sants and Casinet d'Hostafrancs
It is a powerful project in the city of Barcelona where activities are programmed together with neighborhood organizations, in organizing commissions. It is a model of co-management between municipal personnel and staff of federations of entities, the Secretariat of Entities of Sants, Hostrafrancs and La Bordeta.
Cotxeres de Sants hosts emblematic events such as the Open of Chess of Sants, Hostafrancs and La Bordeta, or the Fantastic and Terror of Sants Marathon, as well as concerts, exhibitions, conferences, fairs and all kinds of activities during almost 365 days a year.



 
The facility consists of a complex of three buildings. The first two buildings add up to a total area of about 5,000 m2, with a conference room, Internet room, an auditorium of 1,200 m2 and other multipurpose spaces. The remodeling works of the third building have provided a useful space for a house of 400 m2 old people and a large auditorium.
 
The objective is to make the project more known to the neighborhood and the city, not so much by the activities that are carried out, but rather by the values behind it. All the initiatives are programmed jointly with the entities giving a community air to the project. The Cotxeres-Casinet website has become obsolete and the project needs to see activities, workshops, courses, etc. in a more orderly and practical way.

 

Entities that have taken part in the second phase and have received advice from iWith.org in the field of Internet are:


Geganters d'Oliana, Orfeó badaloní, Centre d'Estudis Sant Martí de Provençals, Intriga teatro, Asociación Argadini, Asociación Sociocultural ACM, Grup de Foc Sant Boi, Claseate, Asociación Esta Vida, Las que habitan la cultura, Producciones menos es más, Turismo Creativo (leyendas solidarias), Associació Tradicions Populars Serpent de Manlleu, Fundación Iberoamericana Europa, Asociación Progestión, Rioja Acoge, Federación de Entidades Cristianas Didania, Coordinadora Colla Gegantera de Girona, Dracs i Diables La Sagrera, Proyecto Metamorfosis, Associación del Norte al Sur, Novembre Feminista, Asociación Exoestrato, Centre Democràtic i Progressista, Comsoc (contes del món), Dona Cançó, La habitación gestión cultural and Col·lectiu investigació i Prehistòria. 
 
From iWith.org, we would like to congratulate the winning project and we will offer our support and support to improve the web and its presence on the Internet until 2022, which includes the creation of the web page on the Abcore Cadí platform with:
 
  • Accommodation
  • Design
  • Programming
  • Training of administrators
  • Web communication tools such as newsletters, events or press release service
  • Support for users
  • Accompaniment to the project

The costs of these services are assumed by iWith.org until 2022, thanks to the unselfish contributions of Chus Roig and iWith.org Team de Teaming

El #power de la intercooperació

El #power de la intercooperació

Acabem d’estrenar un spot la mar de frikipower, que en dirien. Ens agrada, i molt!

A Quepo ens agraden els reptes, i aquest era un d’aquells que motiven. Deu fer cosa d’un mes, vam seure al voltant d’una taula la Laie, la Maria, el Xavi, el Pere, la Sònia i jo. El Xavi portava a sota el braç una d’aquestes idees bomba per a l’espot d’arrencada de la preparació del #FSMET20. Una d’aquelles idees que, o surten molt bé o poden ser un desastre monumental: crear uns superherois i superheroïnes que sorgissin de les runes del capitalisme devorador, i demostréssin el #power que tenen les economies transformadores per construïr un món.

Simplement això, per construir-lo i enlloc de destruir-lo.

Després de discutir molts pros i molts contres, ens vam tirar de cap a la piscina. Calia sumar esforços per tirar endavant el projecte, la resposta era clara: intercooperar. I així vam posar en marxa la maquinària. El primer pas, decidir i repartir els rols que assumiriem cada coope: Metromuster la direcció de la idea, Bruna la part tècnica audiovisual i Quepo la producció del lio.

Un cop alineats els astres, ja no hi havia marxa enrere. Mentre Xavi s’encarregava de la cerca i captura de les superheroïnes i la música, jo contactava a l’Adriano Galante per a que ens obrís les portes del Konvent Zero i ens acollís.

Un cop vam tenir l’ok de l’espai, tocava la part més difícil: trobar un equip de vestuari que ens dissenyés en temps límit els vestit de les superheroïnes: aquí la Mónica i la Laura s’ho van currar, i molt.

I la darrera incorporació, una bomba: el Jordi Plana Pey passaría el dia amb nosaltres i ens faria la foto fixe per la campanya gràfica del Fòrum Social Mundial. No el coneixeu? Doncs entreu, entreu i gaudiu. Una meravella la seva feina.

Els pilars fonalmentals estaven claríssims: superheroïnes, vestuari, localització i música.

A una setmana vista, l’sprint final. “A lo loco”: el Xavi amunt i avall amb proves de vestuari i coreografia a hores intempestives; la fantàstica Núria va pujar al carro a última hora va doblegar-se el cervell, les mans i les cames amb mi per fer possible que tot estigués a punt i a lloc en tot moment; la nostra estimada Mariola apadrinant-nos de nou amb la cessió de tota la il·luminació (infinites gràcies!) era el que una idea boja com aquesta necessitava; i el Marc ens va cedir els walkies per a que la nostra comunicació fos perfecte durant la gravació.

Aleshores, ja tocava començar a construir portes, finestres i posar color a les parets: la mà fina de les brunes es va dedicar a cuidar, amb molta cura, tots els acabats tècnics.

Ja ho teniem tot a punt: furgo i cotxes carregats cap a Berga. Una gravació d’aquelles boniques en que l’equip es cuida i gaudeix el que millor sap fer: cinema.

I aquí teniu el resultat, esperem que us agradi tant com nosaltres hem gaudit del procés i esperem que acompanyi i faci emergir totes les superheroines que fem possible aquest món bonic, el que enten l’economia com aquella que posa a les persones al davant, la que te cura del seu entorn des d’una mirada cooperativa i comunitària.

Cap al Fòrum Social Mundial de les Economies Transformadores!
