The Resource Alliance started as the International Fund Raising Group (IFRG) in 1981 when 36 people gathered at the first International Fundraising Workshop. The Resource Alliance is an international network working to build the capacity of not for profit organisations to mobilise funds and local resources for their causes. The organisation produces a book entitled "The WorldWide Fundraiser's Handbook. A Guide to Fundraising for Southern NGOs and Voluntary Organisations" (see TRRAACE/Library). The Website of the Resource Alliance offers ideas and on line materials, including some excerpt of the book: How to write a fundraising proposal? How to find funders? And other documents to be download: about local resources mobilisation; techniques of fundraising; NGO Communications and Marketing; NGO governance and Accountability; Fundraising through the Internet; and others references and links. Resource Alliance have been working in Eastern and Southern Africa with regional partners since the first Regional Fundraising Workshop in 1993. Upcoming Events in Africa: 11th Eastern Africa Regional Workshop, 9 - 12 November 2004, Entebbe, Uganda (see TRRAACE/Agora/News).
