Any social enterprise or a non government
organization (NGO) needs to present their case in a presentable manner for
assuring that the grants are approved. It is also the approach of Mission Heal NGO. The initial few
months can be tough for any NGO in raising funds but once they find out that
what is the proper way for fund raising then the NGO never finds itself short
of funds. The Mission Heal NGO with
its experience over the years has learned the art of approaching donors.
The
Donors are buying into you:
The donors in a way are buying your
products and services for the people of their interest. In a way they are
hiring you to do their needful. The MissionHeal NGO understands the situation and approaches the donors in a very
professional way. The NGO also takes each donor separately as all have
different priorities and psychology. Further, the donors also have their own
preference of the welfare work in a particular sector. The Mission Heal NGO is lucky in this regard as they have their work
cut out for the welfare of a diverse range of issues in our society.
Ingredients
of your Proposal:
The proposal for your fundraising presented
to the potential donors speaks a lot louder than the words that you speak to
them. The proposal needs to have everything about your NGO and work. It should say
that who are you, what is your area of operation, your history, your current
projects, your future projects, are you trustworthy, credible, accountable, and
sustainable etc. The potential donor actually checks all these things before he
approves or disapproves your proposal. Further, the proposal actually provides
the right space for an NGO that why they need their funds and by when. The
NGO’s proposal writer can also tell and explain if he needs the funds in
urgency. If the donors understand that you are doing the right work and also
needs the money urgently, then they need to speed up their process in order to
release the grants quickly.
Statistics:
The NGO in fundraising should have all the
relevant statistics to their NGO and the community they are working for at
their fingertips. The donors can also ask the presenters of the NGO about a
variety of figures and it is also the responsibility of the NGO to know all the
facts, figures and the dynamics of the society where they are working for.
This
isn’t about you but for the people of the Society:
The representative of the NGO taking the
proposal to the donors must tell that the work and efforts that they are making
have nothing to do with their personal interest. Rather, it is for the benefit
of the society. They are the representatives of those underprivileged people
for whom they are collecting funds and donations. Assure them that each penny
that they will pay would be spent for those underprivileged people in a very
organized way.
