Lessons Learned
National Erasmus+ Office - Egypt
“University Fundraising “ Seminar – October 23rd – 24th
•Play a vital role in fundraising Board of Trustees and Alumni
•When they align with organizational goals (VF, HDB)
•When they serve a specific purpose (Labs, Finishing of
floors, Scholarships, new Schools,..)
•When the target beneficiary is clear & well defined
Donations work best
•Should add value to the donor (Ex. :Sadko Training
Courses, BM support of other philanthropic activities) Donor benefits
•improves donor satisfaction and increases likelihood
of repeated donations. Regular, up to date, transparent,
reporting
• is the next donor. A satisfied donor
•Keep trying, use a new approach or a new venue
•Send regular University News & Updates
•Invite potential donors to all important events
It doesn’t always work from the
first time….
