Building Resource Mobilization Capacity in Thailand

 

When: 2010

 

Where: Bangkok, Thailand (* Training organizers are actively seeking a training host and approaching donors so that the costs for Thai NGOs can be partially subsidized).

 

In these challenging times, NGO managers and fundraisers are under more pressure than ever to diversify their funding sources.  This training hopes to address this challenge in the area of resource mobilization by building the capacity in Thailand of a network of participating NGOs and fundraisers through training - with a specific focus on institutional funders. The aim of the training course is to provide practical knowledge, adapted to reflect the reality in Thailand, to the attendees on key issues affecting resource mobilization.  The curriculum, exercises, and case studies will be specific to the Thai context and based on a capacity gap analysis and feedback from potential participants.  The course is ideally suited to fundraising professionals who want to build their capacity; executive directors/NGO managers responsible for donor relations; and consultants who want to develop their professional skills.

 

The proposed topics covered by this seminar include:

 

Basic concepts of cross-border resource mobilization

Identifying international funding opportunities and prospect research

Electronic resources and databases (including the US Foundation Center’s database)

The impact of the economic crisis and global economy on fundraising efforts

Management and business systems required to effectively mobilize resources

Strategy development and setting goals

Donor relations

Concept notes and program proposals

Building inclusive budgets

Monitoring & evaluation and project reporting

Resource mobilization communications strategies 

 

After completion of the course participants will know how to answer the following questions:

 

Where can I get information on international funding opportunities?

How do I approach mobilizing resources for my organization?

What tools do I need to develop a successful fundraising strategy?

How do I draft successful funding concept notes and proposals?

How do I create inclusive project budgets?

What are some of the key problem areas when dealing with cross border funding?

 

Following the training - donor funding permitting - this project aims to support a Fundraising Resource Library open to all Thai NGOs that will be hosted by an NGO or University Library. It will include printed materials and open access to international grants databases containing millions of grants.
