GFMD’s new fundraising centre and guide

Author: Olga Komarova | 23. July 2021

GFMD has put together a new fundraising centre and guide specifically aimed at our sector to help you develop and improve your fundraising proposals. With only 0,3% of Overseas Development Aid going to media development, it’s no wonder that many organisations struggle to make ends meet. If you are a small or medium-sized media development organisation you may not have the resources to hire an external consultant to help you in your fundraising efforts.

Check out the guide for tips on how to plan the process, identify relevant opportunities, write a proposal, and present a realistic budget. There is also an extensive lexicon of fundraising terminology to help you during the process. And if you’re looking for donors, the resource centre has a list of all relevant funders with details of their areas of focus and with links to their funding opportunities. And if you can’t find what you’re looking for here, let us know so we can improve our fundraising centre and guide for you – just follow the feedback links in the guide.

Sign up for GFMD’s Fundraising Newsletter, which will introduce the GFMD Fundraising Resource Centre for Media Development and cover the latest funding opportunities.
