§ 02Funding procedure
Where the responsibility sits
The senior management of CSHRN carries direct responsibility for the network's fundraising — from donor research through to the quality of every proposal that leaves the office.
01Coordinating the fundraising activities
02Support and back-up to the fundraising efforts
03Donor research
04Donor contact and communications
05Ensuring project reports are submitted to donors on time
06Actively using any opportunity to secure funding for all active projects
07Assisting departments to prepare proposals — writing guidelines, budget calculation, donor-suited formats and editing
§ 03Sources of funds
Local first, then abroad
01
Domestic funding
Funding from local organisations carries a number of advantages — procedures are often simpler to follow, and international donors want to know that local sources have been tried first.
02
International funding
When applying for funds from abroad, national registration as an NGO and formal government approval of the project are often necessary before an application can proceed.
§ 04Donor requirements
Adequate, regular reporting
One of the most important requirements of donors is adequate, regular reporting. Compiling a comprehensive record of donor reporting requirements is the responsibility of the Programme and Finance departments.
That record reflects where the responsibility for each report lies and the exact dates when reports fall due.
§ 05Donor privacy
We respect the privacy of our donors
01
No sale of donor data
CSHRN shall not sell or otherwise make available the names and contact information of its donors, except where disclosure is required by law.
02
No third-party mailings
CSHRN shall not send mailings on behalf of other organisations.
03
A transparent privacy policy
CSHRN provides a clear, prominent and easily accessible privacy policy stating what information is collected, how it is used, and the internal controls in place to protect personal information.
