In these uncertain times with the closure of major international development donors including DFID and USAID, it is more important than ever for organisations to develop robust, diverse fundraising strategies. At Kumva Consulting, this is what we specialise in. We have delivered our Theory of Fundraising and Diverse Fundraising Methods training to development partners and civil society actors in the UK, Eastern Europe, and East Africa. These sessions are designed to give your organisation a fighting chance when project funding dries up. Here are some of our most popular courses.
