This workshop is a great opportunity for participants to better understand the mindset of the Arab donor. What makes them give? What prevents them from giving? Who do they prefer to give to and for what? Throughout the conversation between the co-conductors and the engagement with the participants, everyone will have the opportunity to learn about which fundraising techniques and tools work in the Arab region and why they work, what fundraisers need to know when conducting their work in the Arab region, and how to avoid getting trapped by obstacles such as legislative restrictions on fundraising in the different countries.
This session is a unique opportunity that should not be missed by any private philanthropy fundraiser working or seeking to work in the Arab region. The workshop will include many examples of different private philanthropy relationships from the Arab region – some successful and some more challenging – and will present a case study of a successful relationship between an INGO and an Arab philanthropist/family foundation, including direct experience sharing by a representative of an Arab philanthropist/family foundation and the private philanthropy fundraiser of an INGO.
