The awards are designed to encourage such fundraising creativity because “organisations that receive support from such a citizen base ” in the form of money, people goods, and services ” have demonstrated that they are stronger and more independent than when they rely solely on foundation and government grants”.
The five winners will be announced on 21 February 2005.
Entrants were asked to submit a description of a technique that either has or will be implemented by their organisation. They had to be pioneering concepts that promise to generate significant amounts of financial, human, and/or in-kind resources for sustaining a citizen sector organisation. In addition, these ideas had to be relevant for other organisations around the world.
