International Fundraising Report
Books about international fundraising

There are some books that might be very helpful when the whole process of communicating
with international donors, receiving grants and reporting to international donors really takes
off. I have listed two books that I think are most interesting and useful for Dark & Light.
‘International Fund Raising for Not-for-Profits : A Country-by-Country Profile’

by Thomas Harris.
The only comprehensive reference work of its kind, this book provides
complete coverage of everything that a fund raiser must know when
preparing for an international fund-raising campaign. Offers an overview of a
country's tax and regulatory system, an examination of its not-for-profit
sector, what sources of funding are available, and what fund-raising
methods are considered acceptable by the culture and the government.
The price of this book is quite high: it is stated at €166.70. Surprisingly, in combination with the
next book it currently costs €152.00.
‘The Complete Guide to Fundraising Management’ by Thomas Harris.
The Complete Guide to Fundraising Management, Second Edition provides a

user-friendly road map for fundraising success in a highly competitive
philanthropic environment. A practical how-to book tailored specifically to
the needs of professional and volunteer fundraisers, it moves beyond theory
to address the day-to-day problems faced in these organisations, and offers
sound advice and proven solutions. The book and accompanying CD-ROM
include all the tools, tips, and techniques you need to make your non-profit
stronger and find the resources you need. Inside you will find:
Resource development strategies
The five principles of fundraising
Information management techniques
Tips on prospect identification and market research
Guidelines for running major gift programs
Sections on fundraising by mail, by telephone, and through special events
Capital and endowment campaign key success factors
The price of this book is €23.30 (Or in combination with the previous book €152.00).

Word Meaning
D-Light Program designed by and for Dark & Light to process projects,
partners, donations, etc.
Charitable trusts Charitable trusts and charitable foundations (basically the same thing
and foundations but 'foundation' is the word used in America and has become
fashionable here) are most commonly organisations set up to make
charitable grants in a tax-effective way. They are often set up by rich,
philanthropic individuals or companies. A trust deed sets out what the
trust's money should be used for. A group of trustees (who don't
themselves benefit) are responsible for ensuring that the money is
spent properly. Endowed trusts and foundations have an 'endowment'
- money that can't be spent but is invested. This generates interest,
which is the trust's income.
Some charitable trusts and foundations do things - run programmes,

manage activities - just like other voluntary organisations but most
don't. All they do is make grants.
Philantrophy Philanthropy means the love of mankind, universal good will. A
philanthropic act is one which benefits other people, and a
philanthropist is a person that does good to others.
Grant A gift of money to support an organisation or an activity. A grant is not
a contract; there is no legal obligation on the recipient to provide a
particular service or product.
Proposal Application, bid, tender. The word is often used for large projects
where the document is quite long and complicated.
Budget A forecast of the income and expenditure needed to carry out a
project, or run an organisation, for a given period of time. Also known
as a financial projection, or as 'estimates'.
Capacity building A phrase that gets used a lot but means all sorts of things to different
people. Schemes that aim to 'build capacity' are about ensuring that
communities (and the individuals within them) are able to take
advantage of economic and social opportunities - that they have the
right attitudes and skills to do things.
Community A phrase often used to describe the kind of fundraising that groups do
fundraising in their community: jumble sales, sponsored events and so on.
3
Core costs The costs of keeping the organisation going, not directly connected to
any particular project - e.g. administration, management, research
and development, audit, HQ costs, IT and finance costs,
administrative, personnel and training charges, insurances. Sometimes
called 'central' costs.
Corporate Companies often give money to good causes or help them in other
responsibility, ways (gifts in kind or use of meeting rooms, for instance). When this is
company giving done formally - particularly by big companies like supermarket chains
or petrol companies or banks, it's often done by a 'Corporate
Responsibility Department' because companies feel they have
corporate responsibilities to the environment they operate in and the
communities their employees come from.
Company giving is often contrasted with sponsorship, which may be
undertaken for much more commercial reasons.
Sponsorship Sponsors give money to good causes in return for the right to have
their name connected with that of the good cause. How much of a
connection they get has to be negotiated and will depend on the
nature of the cause, the nature of the sponsor, and the amount of
money involved.
Criteria The standards or characteristics required by somebody
judging something. With funders, their criteria are the 'rules'
about who can apply. One funder's criteria, for example,
might be that applicants have to be a national organisation
and have to work with older people. The word criteria is
plural. One requirement is one 'criterion'.
Revenue The money that runs through an organisation - that comes in and is
spent within a year. Not capital.
Social responsibility The idea that organisations and individuals have a responsibility to the
society in which they operate and should contribute to it. Many
companies do their grant-making through departments of social
responsibility.
Surplus If you receive more than you spend over a given period the difference
is a surplus. It is the opposite of a deficit. If the organisation is a
commercial one, the surplus is usually described as profit.
Sustainable If something is sustainable it can be kept going. Funders may want
evidence that a project is 'sustainable'. This means they want to know
how the project will be paid for once their money comes to an end.
Trust In the world of funding, 'trusts' is often shorthand for charitable trusts.
Trusts don't have to be charitable, though. They are just a legal way of
ensuring that some people (the trustees) control money or resources
provided by the founder in a way that benefits someone else. Only
charitable trusts can be set up to last forever.
Community Community foundations are charitable trusts that support local
foundations community causes. Their role is to manage donor funds and build
endowments as well as make grants to charities and community
groups, linking local donors with local needs.
Giving/Granting In general, giving is for private individuals whereas granting or
awarding grants is for companies, foundation, charities, trusts, etc.
(Except when there is spoken about ‘Corporate giving’, etc.
