Many organisations will need outside funding at some point, but it can be hard to know which methods of fundraising will be most effective for you.

This discussion is a place where you can share your experience of fundraising and request advice from others. You can also post links to useful information available elsewhere on the internet.

Examples may include:

* Sharing experience of what has worked well for you, and what has not
* Advice on how to find local, national and international donor organisations
* Holding successful fundraising events
* Alternatives to donations e.g. making money from your projects to make them self-sustaining
* Writing proposals and filling in grant application forms
* How to approach companies for donations
* Using online fundraising sites
* Links to websites with advice on proposal writing, lists of donor organisations etc

Please DO NOT post any requests for money here.

Can you provide a bit more detail on how to go about this? I have recently signed up on Twitter as well as Social Actions and have started blogging on some of the work we do (I also operate a charity based in Canada so I am interested in this concept for that as well as the Nabuur projects). Do you require an established nework already? For EpicChange did you have an existing group that this all went to? Did you have to have a large following on Twitter first? Maybe we can chat more about this?
