New Fund Asks Western Fundraisers to Support Colleagues in Developing Countries

Partly developed by creative agency Cascaid, the Fundraisers Fund is similar to the idea behind microfinance Web site Kiva, which allows people to lend money directly to social entrepreneurs in the developing world.

The fund’s Web site will provide examples of the costs of training courses, workshops and conferences — principally but not exclusively those run by the Resource Alliance — and will allow donors to contribute to providing training for fundraisers.
