Venture for Fund Raising was honored to take the stage at the 59th ADB Annual Meeting in Samarkand last May 5, 2026! Moderating the session "Innovative Financing to Scale Up Community-Led Solutions," we joined forces with HANIWAI, Habitat for Humanity, and the ADB to bridge the gap between financial theory and grassroots action. Together, we provided practical applications and key recommendations on how to explore community-based philanthropy, government and private sector partnerships, and grassroots mobilization to access local capital and promote financial sustainability.

Important Announcement! We want to make sure the room is full of different voices and perspectives so you get the most out of every conversation. To ensure you have the engaging, productive experience you’ve come to expect, we’re moving the Basic Course on Fund Raising (BCFR #78) and our Alumni Engagement Workshop to September 22–25, 2026 at Prestige Tower, F. Ortigas Jr. Avenue, Ortigas Center, in Pasig City.

Last March 26, 2026, Venture joined the Annual Strategic Planning Workshop of Good Neighbors International Philippines at the Forest Crest Nature Hotel and Resort in Batangas. We conducted a one-day fund raising session designed to introduce core resource mobilization concepts to the organization’s field offices. Additionally, we equipped the participants with latest knowledge on local fund raising trends to help them navigate the current funding landscape more effectively.

On March 13, 2026, Venture was invited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development - Partnerships Building and Resource Mobilization Office (DSWD-PBRMO) in BGC, Taguig City. We led practical discussions across two key sessions: Introduction to Fund Raising and Fund Raising Communications, and Designing Your Digital Fund Raising Communication Strategy. The engagement aimed to equip participants with actionable insights to strengthen their respective resource mobilization efforts to sustain their social welfare programs.

The Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC) once again launched the Financial Stewardship for NGOs training held at iBis Styles Manila, Quezon City. On March 4-6, Venture for Fund Raising was invited once more as a resource speaker for the participants from the National Capital Region (NCR).
