Friends of Resource Alliance 

We would like to thank our Founding Corporate Partner

Kabonge Adam Nsubuga receiving his award from Simon Collings, CEO, The Resource Alliance

The Friends of Resource Alliance exists to support the professional development of some of the rising stars in fundraising in the developing world, and to ensure sustainable knowledge sharing on general and specific fundraising, resource mobilisation and voluntary sector management issues.

Donations help establish bursaries for participants to attend training events and knowledge sharing workshops, with grants also made available towards other programme initiatives which aim to build fundraising capacity.

Broadening access to information about resource mobilisation is a crucial goal of the fund. To encourage access to those resources, the fund will also be used to continue the development and translation of fundraising materials such as printed and electronic materials in different languages like Spanish. In March 2005, e-Noticias de Fundraising, the Resource Alliance's Spanish e-newsletter was successfully launched.

At Resource Alliance we believe it is essential that voluntary organisations are enabled to build their fundraising and communication abilities so they can better meet the world's challenges. The more voluntary sector personnel are given opportunities to learn and network, the faster this knowledge will be spread in the communities that need it most.

Each year a number of bursaries are awarded to enable fundraisers from developing economies to attend our international workshops. Bursaries are awarded from the Guy Stringer Fund which is a specific fund supported by the Friends of Resource Alliance.
