WORKSHOP ON RESOURCE MOBILISATION FOR NGOS: GLOBAL AND LOCAL PERSPECTIVES
6th February 2009
A one day work shop on the above topic was held at Sankar Foundation, with Ms Helen Slater, Marketing Innovations Executive at SSI, UK, as the guest speaker. Mrs Manimala, Executive Trustee and CEO of Sankar Foundation spoke on the success story of Resource Mobilisation at Sankar Foundation. Apart from Ms Slater, two other speakers were invited – Mr Varada Reddy, President of Visakha Welfare Federation, a well known NGO and Mr M S Kumar, AGM, Corporate Social Responsibilty, Vizag Steel. Both the organizations have partnered with Sankar Foundation in taking eye to the urban slums and rural areas respectively.
It emerged from these various talks that resource may be interpreted as any kind of support – manpower, coordination, advocacy, lending brand name etc and not only as some kind of monetary support.
A number of NGOs participated in the work shop and they included JKS, TARA, Rotarynetra, Ashraya Trust, FXB Suraksha, ORCC, DMWS, Sadhana.
