We know that young NGOs need support in their fundraising efforts and that there is a lot more fundraising potential in Romania. With this programme, we aim to strengthen the financial sustainability, the strategic fundraising capacity and governance of 12 NGOs working in local and community development, education or in the social sector focused on providing direct social assistance and services to vulnerable or disadvantaged people.<\/p>\n

Co-operation and openness, adapted learning, a \u201epatient\u201d journey, an environment of mutual encouragement, useful and tailored tools and focus on action. Vision and action go hand in hand, and good habits support the changes needed for the NGOs to increase their impact.<\/p>\n

We aim to provide a complex learning experience, tailored to the the needs of the 12 NGOs in the programme. Here are the main support and learning activities:<\/p>\n

The two Growth Camps, the first one to be held in July 2022, are learning events designed by the Synerb team and NorSensus Mediaforum, our Norwegian partner.<\/p>\n
During these Growth Camps we will discusss key fundraising topics such as strategic planning, communication, storytelling, strategic institutional fundraising, board development, consortium building, networking and social entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n
For example, the first camp will focus on “Strategic planning, communication and strategic fundraising”. We\u2019ll aim to address a number of topics and provide help with (re)defining the strategic vision of the participating organisations, measuring impact, creating programmes and a realistic fundraising plan, and communicating programmes through visual storytelling . We\u2019ll be focusing on three key fundraising elements: how to engage in fundraising with companies, ways to fundraise from individual donors and developing the skills to understand the guidelines of open calls, and finally, how to to write fundable proposals.<\/p>\n
The training activities will focus on exploring the main funding opportunities available for Romanian NGOs. We\u2019ll not only provide a theoretical frame of the local sector, but the training activities will also guide the participants to develop their own agile fundraising plan.<\/p>\n
In addition, we\u2019ll invite a number of experts and facilitators to these Growth Camps to work with the selected NGO cohort. These are seasoned professionals with significant experience in fundraising, who will help participants to implement their fundraising plan or provide help with understanding various fundraising segments – e.g. fundraising from individual donors.<\/p>\n
Each Growth Camp will have a duration of 2.5 days. The learning events will take place in a quiet rural or peri-urban location, easily accessible to all participants. <\/p>\n

The direct support programme will begin shortly after the first Growth Camp.<\/p>\n
There will be three common, yet practical ways of providing patient and consistent support to each NGO from the cohort:<\/p>\n
1) one-to-one mentoring, with a frequency adjusted to the individual needs of each NGO (but at least once a month), on key topics such as strategic fundraising, strategic leadership and communication.<\/p>\n
2) providing feedback and guidance on each NGOs project ideas\/ applications, on donor presentations and other strategic documents.<\/p>\n
3) providing technical support in creating practical tools tailored to the needs of the NGOs from the cohort.<\/p>\n
This support phase lasts 18 months.Throughout the support sessions planned for this period, we\u2019ll help the NGO leaders to develop the skills and courage to write good funding proposals, to attract additional funding, to develop a management or advisory board and the key strategic fundraising areas that will eventually increase their performance. We will co-create an agile fundraising system and track results together. <\/p>\n

Once we determine the specific needs of each organization from the program, we will carry out a “matching process” with one or several external mentors enrolled in our program (check out the list of mentors here). Depending on the complexity of each NGO’s needs and their mapped difficulties, participants can choose to attend a number of 1, 3, 6, or 9 mentoring sessions.<\/p>\n

We know that face-to-face meetings can be more productive. In the 10th month of the project, we will organise a field visit at the premise of each NGO or in the communities where they operate.<\/p>\n
The aim of the field visits is to extend our support to the teams of each NGO, through a series of group conversations or micro-trainings, depending on their needs and requests. We are aware these plans may change, depending on how the pandemic evolves and that we might need to explore alternative support solutions.<\/p>\n
