Provide fundraising advice
TASK
The organization seeks for volunteers that will be able to
support it to source for well wisher individuals, institutions, churches,
charities, etc that would be willing to support the organization as donors for
its projects.
The volunteer will serve as an advisor on the strategies of
fundraising and approaching potential donors. He/she will not be involved in
soliciting funds but advising and guiding on drafting messages to approach
potential donors.
The volunteers will support the organization to improve its
potential to access donors. They will work together as a team with the director
of the organization who will provide all the information required by the
volunteers to facilitate their work. All correspondences will be done on email
and any other means agreed upon
BACKGROUND
INFORMATION
RAP-CD runs three programmes including parents’ empowerment,
medical and education for children with disabilities and runs a school for
blind and deaf children under education. Donors seem not to be taking
disability as their area of priority and this limits our resources. The
volunteer will therefore support us to source for those donors that may
consider disability as a priority area of funding.
OBJECTIVE
1- To improve the organization’s capacity to get and
maintain donors
2- To improve disabled children’s access to education and
medical services through an improved donor base.
