South Coast Foundation, a US foundation, is publishing a comprehensive manual on proposal-writing and fundraising entitled: "Proposal- writing and fundraising: A Guide for South African Non-governmental Organisations and Community-based Organisations", by Kathy Cook.
The reader is taken step-by-step through the proposal-writing and fundraising process. Written in a question-and-answer, user-friendly style by an experienced foreign donor, the manual offers guidance to those seeking information and insights into the funding world. It is ideal for non-governmental organisations, community-based groups and income-generating projects.
Complete with samples taken from real proposals, worksheets, writing tips and a glossary of funding terms, the manual contains a range of activities for organisations to develop the necessary skills to reach their fundraising goals.
