Welcome to the Resource Alliance eNewsletter – one year after launch
Dear Oh-Deuk
It's been one year since we relaunched our eNewsletter. We hope over this period you've enjoyed reading about the work we've been doing around the world and finding out about our new projects.
In 12 months we've seen a lot of exciting developments. We've launched the Future Leaders Programme for Fundraisers, reviewed the courses we offer through the School of Fundraising and organised several awards programmes, including the Global Awards 2012 and NGO Awards. Plus, we've continued to develop our successful international events – the International Fundraising Congress (IFC), Fundraising online and the International Workshop on Resource Mobilisation (lWRM) in Asia and Africa.
New Impact casebook
Since our formation in 1981, we've made an impact on the sector globally by inspiring philanthropy and successfully helping many
non-profit organisations in both developed and developing economies to increase their fundraising capabilities and long-term financial sustainability.
In October we published Impact: Our Footprints 2012 - a collection
of case studies of our work over the past three years.

We need your input; as you are the experts on the sector in your country. Please take our survey and help guide our future work. You'll also be in with the chance of winning some great prizes.

The IWRM Africa 2012
The International Workshop on Resource Mobilisation (IWRM) Africa took place for the third consecutive year in Kampala, Uganda on 27-30 November, welcoming participants from over 20 countries in Africa and beyond.
This year, for the first time the IWRM offered a Foundational Class to address the needs of programme staff who find themselves responsible for fundraising within their organisations. In addition to this, Masterclasses, Big Room sessions and Workshops focused on tools and techniques to capitalise on the opportunities for resource mobilisation in the African context.
As well as gaining new skills and knowledge from the local and international speakers, delegates were encouraged to share their own experiences and learn from each other. Indeed, the breaks and social events are as much an integral part of the IWRM as the formal sessions.
