new event, the “IDEA Exchange,” will take place on November 1st and 2nd,
2006 at the same location in Prague, the Czech Republic, as the IDEA-NL

Please contact me, Jurate at jmotiejunaite at idebate.org if you are interested

Here is the proposal for the  Fundraising Workshop November 2, 2006


IDEA Development Directors Boudewijn Bekkers (the Netherlands) and Cheron
Calder (USA) will share knowledge and experiences in fundraising both in the
United States and in Europe. The workshop will focus on two different
approaches to raising money: one from public sources in Europe and the other
from private sources in the United States. Workshop participants will build
a fundraising tool kit by working through a model to develop a fundraising
plan and a strategy for success.  The toolkit will also include lists of
funding sources and fundraising support websites to help fund seekers find
financial support for their work. There will be time allotted during the
workshop for participants to receive individual coaching and feedback on
their plans. Additionally, participants are invited to schedule one-on-one
coaching sessions with Cheron and Boudewijn after the workshop.
