Limited Resources, Breakthrough Success

Finding fundraising success when resources are limited.

Is your organisation strapped for resources? This session will reveal how you can achieve breakthrough successes with limited resources, through leveraging creative, adaptive fundraising approaches to overcome barriers.

Real-world case studies from organisations in India and South Africa, including Backabuddy and Feenix, will show you what’s possible when you employ inventive, resource-efficient strategies to turn constraints into opportunities. The workshop will tackle the critical questions facing under-resourced organisations:

  • How do you mobilise resources when you can’t afford a full-time fundraiser?
  • How do you balance the competing demands of marketing, fundraising, and programme delivery?
  • How do you secure organisation buy-in to foster a culture where everyone is a fundraiser?
  • How do you effectively upskill your team on the job?

Join us for an international perspective on breaking through fundraising limitations and discover the practical, easy-to-implement tools to optimise your systems and processes; find out how to upskill your teams on minimal budgets; and build the confidence to navigate a rapidly evolving funding landscape.

This is your chance to break through the constraints that hold your fundraising back. Designed with majority world fundraisers, and all those operating in constrained contexts, in mind, this session will equip you with real-world, immediately applicable insights to unlock new opportunities.

You’ll leave with actionable strategies, innovative approaches, and the confidence to drive real change for your cause, no matter the obstacles you’re facing.
