The financial sustainability of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) is one of the main challenges faced by civil society in Kosovo, where most financial support for CSOs comes from foreign donors and public funds. For long-term sustainability, diversification of resources and the use of other forms of support are needed.

Therefore, the School of Activism has included the module “Diversification of Financial Resources” in its program, as long-term activism is closely linked to financial sustainability.

Throughout the two days of this module, which is the fourth in the school’s program, around 20 participants gained knowledge and engaged in practical exercises on:

• different fundraising strategies;
• ways to identify and engage new supporters from the community;
• using effective tools and methods to mobilize funds from individuals, businesses, and other partners.

The lecturer of this module was Ms. Albanë Zogu Morina, a fundraising expert with extensive experience in designing and implementing sustainable strategies for mobilizing financial resources in the NGO sector in Kosovo.

This activity was organized with the financial support of the European Union and Sweden. Its content is the sole responsibility of the Kosovar Civil Society Foundation (KCSF) and Community Building Mitrovica (CBM) and does not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union or Sweden.
