Fundraising for archives
This is a guide aimed at the archivist who has, perhaps for the first time, to take on the role of fundraiser.
It is not meant to be an exhaustive fundraising tool but serves rather as an introduction to the sometimes confusing world of fundraising. It is aimed primarily at creating an understanding of the different fundraising methods and some general principles for applying them.
The guide also covers the 'fundraising cycle' or the basic principles of any fundraising approach which can be applied across any sector or project type, large or small.
Fundraising, by its very nature, is uncertain. Success cannot be guaranteed. But if you do your homework, adopt a sensible approach and keep trying you could reap rewards which more than justify all the hard work along the way. This guide is just that, a sensible guide to help make the fundraising process a less daunting one.
Alternatively, copies of the guide are available, one per organisation, from Louise Ray
