On March 9 and 10, 2022, at the headquarters of the Mihai Eminescu Trust Foundation in Sighișoara, on Cojocarilor Street, at number 10, ten MET employees and volunteers will be trained in a fundraising training course. The course is part of the activity A.8. of the project: “Organizational Development: Advocacy and Fundraising Training”.
One area in which the Foundation’s team does not have sufficient experience is the field of Fundraising – that of fundraising – which is currently limited to writing funding applications and accepting amounts from private donations. In order to diversify the sources of funding for MET projects, it is necessary to understand the stages, fundraising actions and what a fundraising plan contains. ✔Organizing training in this area will prepare the MET team for fundraising campaigns or strategic partnerships in the near future.
The training activity of the team is complementary to the activity of improving external communication, both activities having a strategic character and a long-term impact.
The courses will have 50% theoretical basis and 50% practical basis, structured over two days of intensive course. We will learn about the sources of income of NGOs and the fundraising objectives of an NGO, part of the fundraising strategy. The trainer will also focus on fundraising methods and tools for NGOs, storytelling in fundraising. Team members and volunteers of the Mihai Eminescu Trust Foundation will find out details about the fundraising campaign. The theme will be adapted according to the degree of preparation of the organization, but what is certain is that we will go through the whole ABC of fundraising in Romania. The training will have a personalized structure and we will work focused on the needs of our Foundation.
