Promotion and Fundraising
Many of our members have experiences and information to share about how to promote projects effectively and raise the money they need to operate.
Taking good pictures that tell the story of the project you are promoting is a key to success. SDIA and Raphael Bate, Chair of SD France, bring you this easy-to-use guide to Taking Pictures that Tell a Story, with the right composition and resolution to be used on websites and in publications.
SD National Organisations play a key role in bringing people together to learn about the needs of communities around the world and how SD projects help meet those needs and improve learning, livelihoods and well-being. Here SD USA shares some tips for local fundraising initiatives that we hope will inspire you.
In Basic Tips for Fund-raising for Small NGOs in Developing Countries, Jayne Cravens examines the problems small NGOs face when raising funds in developing countries and supplies some basic tips for effective fund-raising.
