The strategy outlined aims to bolster fundraising for a charity NGO in Malaysia by focusing on educational and vocational initiatives. One approach is launching an educational scholarship program targeting local students in need. To facilitate this, partnerships with universities are vital, while promotions via social media and local press can attract attention. Regular fundraising events are essential, involving local businesses for sponsorship. An accessible online donation platform would further increase contributions.
Additionally, organizing technical and vocational workshops addresses regional skill gaps. By collaborating with training centers and recruiting professionals as volunteer instructors, the NGO can offer valuable learning opportunities to local youth and the unemployed. This initiative requires publicizing through community channels and gathering participant feedback.
Finally, the community economic empowerment component involves conducting a needs assessment, developing micro-financing solutions, and organizing financial literacy training. Through partnerships with local government and NGOs, together with mentorship programs involving local entrepreneurs, the strategy seeks to empower local communities economically and sustainably.
