It has now grown to include 2 shelters and 15 various outreach programs. As such, the expenses of running such an organization are huge. My position as Fundraiser is focused on alleviating that burden. To achieve this I canvass for my own CSI leads using the internet as a tool. These leads are then captured onto the company database system on a weekly basis. I am the direct point of contact for donors and companies. I undertake to communicate with this database of potential donors through monthly newsletters and regular one-on-one communication. Research for all CSI Grants and sponsorships is a large part of my post as these avenues are huge revenue generators. Compiling Funding proposals for various corporates also falls under this banner. Taking part in various organised events as a representative of The Cradle of Hope often opens up additional marketing and sponsorship opportunities, motivating and spearheading fundraising growth into new markets. Feedback to the CEO is done on a weekly basis and to date, I have not only met, but exceeded the targets set out for me. Show less
