Yes! We truly believe everyone out there can give. More importantly, we believe everyone, including you can raise money by getting them to give. And that is the Art of Fundraising – it is an art since the individual gives more emotionally and less rationally, more spontaneously (and yet equally thoughtfully) and less through discussion and debate and most importantly more rather than less.

On the other hand, we believe that the NGOs working directly with the underprivileged sections of society have the most inspiring tales of human achievement and social transformation. These stories evoke emotion and spontaneity in individual donors engaging them to increase their giving over time. Individual donors, indeed, are key to an organization’s success, not only in fundraising but in achieving social change by impacting the hearts and minds of hundreds, thousands, millions and billions!

Alas! This has unfortunately not been a focus area for many NGOs. Few know that no less than 40% of all donations are made by individuals in India today. So, we bring to you the Art of Fundraising Workshop to help you understand what are some of the ways you can reach donors – online & offline.
