Fundraising for a Human Rights NGO: foundations and major donors in Austria and the US
Fundraising for a Human Rights NGO: foundations and major donors in Austria and the US
Mentor: Katharina Hofmann-Sewera, SOS Mitmensch (Human Rights Pressure Group)
Description: Students will learn about fundraising for NGOs in Austria and should compare the methods to the US fundraising landscape. Students will research and identify possible supporters independently, mainly in the field of foundations, and individual requirements for applications.
The project seeks to answer these questions:
How to identify foundations and major donors interested in European Human Rights Work?
Which requirements must be met to participate in special donor programs in this field?
Comparison between Austria and US: How are NGOS for Human Rights financed?
How to compose a promising proposal for a Foundation?
