FOR the first time ever, the Resource Alliance is bringing the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) to Durban for a one-day pop up event at the UKZN Graduate School of Business and Leadership, Westville Campus on Wednesday, 22 March.
Regarded as the premier fundraising conference, the IFC attracts hundreds of fundraisers each year and is recognised as a hub for learning, conversations and debates. The event is aimed at transforming fundraising practices to build stronger, more effective and sustainable organisations.
Sarah Scarth, the Resource Alliance’s Southern Africa representative said, “There’s a real hunger among local fundraisers to learn and sharpen their fundraising skills, so we’re thrilled to have the support of Nedbank Private Wealth and the UKZN Foundation to bring a selection of some of the best IFC workshops to South Africa at a more affordable cost.”
“Partnering with the Resource Alliance on the IFC Pop Ups fits squarely with our commitment to strengthening the philanthropy sector. We’re passionate about our work with non-profit organisations that are intrinsic to the sustainability of our country,” said Noxolo Hlongwane, Head Philanthropy at Nedbank Private Wealth.
Each IFC Pop Up will offer a wide selection of workshops delivered via video sessions, followed by live Skype-link Q&As with some of the speakers. The sessions topics include: innovation and technology; writing winning proposals; story-telling; impact reporting; and building effective corporate partnerships.
