What’s actually working?
International fundraising is often approached with good intentions, but without the structure needed to succeed. Many organizations move too quickly into program delivery or fundraising without first establishing community trust, understanding regulatory realities, or clearly communicating their work to donors.
This session will break down what actually makes international fundraising work and where organizations commonly go wrong.Drawing on nearly two decades of experience supporting projects across 75+ countries, Nichole Yamchuk, of Advocate Fundraising, will walk through the realities of entering and working within communities, navigating cross-border compliance considerations, and positioning programs in a way that funders can trust and support.
This is not a theoretical session. It is a practical, experience-based look at how to approach international fundraising in a way that is ethical, credible, and sustainable for small and mid-sized organizations.
