With the prospect of decreasing levels of voluntary donations looming, charities could do well to look at earning their own income in order to shore up their future. Celina Ribeiro looks at the legal and cultural issues at play
You might think life is tough as a fundraiser, but imagine what it's like for fundraisers in the developing world. Fewer resources, no capacity for growth, limited training opportunities... Yet all that is needed to boost their ability to raise funds is a little support from their peers in the west. Well, that time has arrived, explains Simon Collings.
