Hear from our friends

Thank you again for the opportunity you gave … for participating in your training on fund raising. We received a small funding last November and we were able to set up our office, and we are now updating our financial statements as well as preparing for a workshop and the livelihood program. We hope to get more resources coming in since our funds will last up to this month only. But the early luck is really attributed to the pure and inspiring energy I got from all of you. God Bless, we will remain grateful forever.

Child services center

I want to take this opportunity to say Thank You to you all for 4 very full days of learning. The courses were very well run, which I know is no mean feat and takes a lot of preparation. They were meaty and practical at the same time. I have every confidence that the team will be working with will be worth more than what we will pay for, with the added bonus of new friends!

School President

Please accept belated but sincere thanks for the scholarship which allowed me to attend your wonderful course. We are very excited about the new information which we plan to put into good use in the coming year. Truly, your group is clear indication that the universe does, indeed, provide. More power to you.

Trustee

I'm so impressed with the services that your organization provides. You have helped a lot of NGOs already that contribute greatly to where they are now. Organizations like you inspire me. Keep up the good work.

International non-profit staff member

I just want to extend my utmost gratitude to all of you for the wonderful four days I spent last week. What a gargantuan block of ideas and insight you have shared with us. I am so honored to have taken the seminar.

Church worker

Our staff gave good feedback regarding the fund training they had last week and they said it was helpful. As Tiffany would put it, ‘a lot of bulbs were popping up during the seminar.’ This would interest a lot of staff especially those who were on schedule for the next series of training this year.

Broadcasting company executive

In a meeting with one of our partners last month, we got very positive feedback about the general introductory training of Venture. The partner still practices some of the things they had learnt in the training session.

International funder

Thanks a lot for opening my eyes to the reality and necessity to raise funds for the parish systematically. You were right in saying that we NEED to ASK for people to give. I hope that I can consult you later on when I finalize my big dream for the parish.

Parish priest

From a deficit of PhP1.5 million and about PhP2.5 million in revenues in Program, we have jumped to revenues of PhP 6.8 million and a surplus of about PhP3 million. Venture and JVP did a good job. Thanks very much!

Jesuit Volunteers of the Philippines

Enlightening experience! Thank you for a lively and meaningful discussion. Appreciated the clear and direct-to-the-point approach in the Fund Raising Planning. The most helpful about the course is the step in choosing the right fund raising strategy - going back to your 'why' and determining the 'how.'

Communications Officer
Manila Water Foundation

Seeing the big picture in a structured way, identifying metrics (from the Monitoring and Evaluation session) were helpful for thinking about how fund raising should look like.

(The) overview of the existing strategies and tools to assess your organization and needs (board profile, mapping, etc) is the most helpful and useful in the course.
