Colleagues,

I have been fundraising (I call it strategic partnering and resource
mobilization) for many years, notably for 10 years at the International
Development Research Centre in Canada. Indeed, these are excellent
fundraising references spotted by Eric, specially for fundraising in the US.
I have carried out numerous training workshops in that field for developing
countries' NGO's, as recently as last month in Quito, Ecuador as part of an
NGO Connection Day, organized by Microsoft and the Global Knowledge
Partnership.

Best, Alain
