Fundraising Research: A How-To Course for NGOs

With billions invested by governments and foundations in development programs, many donors offer excellent funding opportunities for NGOs based in developing countries, but identifying good prospects, and navigating the complexities of the application process is often difficult. The road to success, which can be highly competitive, often discourages organizations from trying. This training will provide participants with the knowledge and skills to successfully navigate these challenges.
