Donor relations: influencing donors through Bond
Bond's approach towards donors is about securing ‘more and better funding' for UK NGOs working in international development. This involves collectively influencing for change to create an enabling funding environment for our members.
A key part of this strategy is to ensure financial security for the UK NGO sector over the long term by ensuring funders of international development have a full understanding of the significance and quality of the work that UK NGOs contribute to.
It is also about challenging our members to think creatively about the value they add and how best to communicate this to donors, to look strategically at their financial base, and to encourage organisations to consider new sources of finance, such as the private sector and philanthropy.
Our work with donors looks at a range of issues around good practice and how donor behaviour and approach can both promote and hinder good development. Learning, accountability, impact and evaluation and are just some of the areas in which we facilitate debate and positive change between donors and our members.
