Welcome to the Funding Site’s Non Profit Resources Section which includes Interesting Topics – a collection of short essays to assist you in your fundraising efforts together with links to various other expert articles that can assist you. These essays contain ideas and guidelines for you to consider, discuss and put into practice. The purpose of publishing them here, is to both stimulate thought and provide practical information on various issues of relevance such as proposal writing, registration as a Non Profit, drawing up a budget, designing and/or implementing a planned giving programme etc.

In addition to these “tutorial” like essays, this section provides you with information and Important Links to other important and useful sites of interest and potential benefit as well as information on Professional Services that are available specifically to support the development sector. You can also use the GreaterGood SA resource to access an online donation service for your organisation without having to register with payment managers or credit card service providers.

Please note that this is not a “test” nor designed to judge you but simply to rather encourage thought and debate about current practices and the potential to improve issues such as sustainability, governance, financial controls etc.
