INTERNATIONAL FUNDRASING WORKSHOP - II
"Fundraising is a two-way road"

June 4-9, 2002
Ukraine, Crimea, Sanatorium "Zori Ukrainy"

ANNOUNCEMENT and early Bird Registration

Philosophy of the Workshop:
· to address a fundamental problem facing NGOs in NIS and Eastern Europe.
This is their ability to remain financially viable and independent entities.
· lack of know how in raising income locally restricts the ability of NGOs
to determine their own programs to meet needs and to fund their growth and
development.

History of the Workshop:
The first International Fundraising Workshop has been conducted for 70
participants from NIS and CEE in Crimea, Ukraine, on June 4-9, 2001.  The
IFW has been designed to equip the participants with an understanding of the
basic techniques of fundraising and how they can be adapted to suit their
own country.  The first workshop has successfully accomplished its goals.

The second Workshop will pursue the philosophy by enhancing the techniques
of partnerships building  between givers and receivers and by providing
place to present the cases of success: wish expressed by participants at the
first gathering.

The motto of the second International Fundraising Workshop: INTERACTION

Workshop program includes:
· Strategic Approaches to Fundraising
· Communication with different donors
· Legitimacy and Documentation in raising funds
· Ethics of Fundrarsing

When preparing the second Workshop organizers have consulted widely in the
region to ensure that the program meets local needs and has the backing of
appropriate NGOs in the Ukraine.  Trainers from British, Russian and
Ukrainian NGOs will be able bring out local examples of successful
fundraising which can be copied by participants.  Each participant will
receive the opportunity to present the successful fundraising case.
Following the wish of participants of the first IFW, the representatives of
givers/donors will be invited to share their attitudes to fundraisers and to
learn more about NGOs values.
