GiveIndia held a series of workshops, ‘Fundraising with GiveIndia’ in May & June, 2010 in 8 cities across India. This workshop was for our partner NGOs to help them understand how to leverage their listing and use the GiveIndia platform effectively to raise funds.
The day long workshops held in Mumbai/Pune/Kolkata/Delhi/Ahmedabad/Bangalore/Chennai & Hyderabad were a huge success with 239 participants from 183 partner NGOs attending. In fact we got such an amazing response from our Chennai NGOs that we were forced to hold two simultaneous workshop sessions to ensure we did not turn away anyone.
There were three interactive sessions held by the Listing, Feedback & Internet teams. The discussions led NGOs to share their experiences with others, greatly increasing the level of participation. Several participants suggested that this become an annual event and we hope to make this part of our annual calendar.
We would like to share the presentations made during the workshops with everyone.
Sharing with you some feedback we received:
“It gives me confidence to work in our target areas and to utilize advanced technologies to report the feedbacks and to serve the beneficiaries effectively and to reach out more.”
“The GiveIndia team is of very high quality. I was most impressed by all three of them. There was a lot to pack in and absorb in one day, but certainly most useful and worth it. The Rs. 990 should not be seen as ‘cost’ but rather as ‘investment’ that participants can recover many times over if the lessons are learnt well.”
“Giveindia should conduct more such workshops so as to make NGOs work effectively and gain maximum benefits from this wonderful platform. “
