Last Thursday 6 March, we met with the Jakarta Legal Aid Foundation @lbh_jakarta to share and learn from the dynamics of their fundraising team. We learnt a lot, including how to identify potential donors from within our own circle to how to ensure other staff in our organization understand that fundraising activities are not just the work of the fundraising team, but rather are a joint-responsibility.
We also learnt a lot about how to initiate and process donations through the banking system and how to take care of donors that need that personal touch. This personal touch is a very important aspect of fundraising because it builds a friendship which isn’t just about donations but also about sharing an overall vision together.
