IMPACT STORIES
HAVE AN IMPACT STORY TO SHARE?
The Resource Alliance exists to connect and support fundraisers, campaigners, activists, and changemakers. Through events like the International Fundraising Congress and Fundraising Online, programmes focused on leadership and collaboration, and the Resource Alliance Global Community platform, we provide access to the connection, content, and events to help you do better work.
We love hearing from people who have attended our events or taken part in our programmes and who, as a result, have expanded their fundraising, clarified their vision, or improved their confidence. And we want to hear yours, too.
If engaging with the Resource Alliance or any of our events or programmes has supported you or your organisation, please tell us how!
Case Study: Ikamva Labantu Charitable Trust
Providing global perspectives and a sense of belonging: How IFC supports fundraising growth
The Ikamva Labantu Charitable Trust, which offers social programmes for children, young people, and older people in South Africa, credits the International Fundraising Congress and other Resource Alliance events with helping it to significantly grow its seniors programme and build monthly giving.
Case Study: AfriKids
How AfriKids raised GBP £1.2 million after attending IFC, hitting their fundraising goal many times over.
AfriKids, a London-based organisation protecting the rights of children across northern Ghana, had a big fundraising goal: to raise £210,000 in unrestricted funds in three months, to be match-funded by the UK government through its UK Aid Match scheme. The matched funds were earmarked to support AfriKids’ education programme.
Case Study: Rewati Dhakal
Inspired and empowered to lead the way for fundraisers in Nepal
Historically, fundraisers in Nepal have been starved for knowledge and support. They struggled to raise money to tackle myriad social problems and make life better for their fellow Nepalese people. Thanks to his experiences with IFC and IFC Asia, Rewati Dhakal was inspired and empowered to do something about the situation and helped changed the face of fundraising and philanthropy in his country.
The Carolina Nyberg-Styser bursary programme
In October 2017, in the course of her work, Greenpeace campaigner Carolina Nyberg-Steiser lost her life in the Brazilian Amazon.
This programme is her legacy.
With the support of Carolina’s family, Greenpeace and the Resource Alliance developed a bursary programme in her name with the aim of empowering incredible young women who care as deeply for the wellbeing of our planet, and the people that inhabit it, as Carolina did.
