This unique experience, an opportunity to have a one on one platform to engage and network with a cross section of donors, managers of key foundations, managers of leading NGOs, INGOs and other institutions, provides an excellent opportunity to create effective and result oriented networks and orient your organization’s resource mobilization strategies to affect more of the change that motivates your mission. Organizations are always faced with competing priorities regarding donor opportunities. The purpose of this symposium is to provide organizations with a road map or criteria for assessing whether and how to respond to a donor opportunity, equip you with skills to proactively seek out new sources of funding from a range of donors, enable organizations identify strategic networking and marketing opportunities, positioning your organization as a sub or prime and know how to sequentially and effectively develop an articulate fund raising plan. This symposium is the first step in the process that ties legacy and strategic priorities to resource mobilization. Indeed, as an organization in need of new funding, you have to pay close attention when traditional ways of mobilizing resources and fund raising are shifting and new opportunities open up to embrace new strategies which will unlock donors’ full potential.
