Civil society organizations (CSOs) have few free sources of funding in Slovakia, they are dependent on grants or other similar sources, not realizing that (regular) donations from ordinary people would provide them autonomy and long-term stable funding. The project aims to strengthen civil society through the development of individual philanthropy, especially of young people, and through the provision of new, modern online tools for organizations to facilitate their access to finance from individual donors. By strengthening the financial capacity of organizations, their anchorage in society will be increased and their capacities will be released to perform their primary activities. The Centre for Philanthropy organisation created the DARUJME.sk (DONATE.sk) website - the gateway to the world of online donation. Allows donations to be made directly in the website environment.
DARUJME.sk was created in 2012 and today it needs some system changes. It does not meet today's standards, nor does it technically allow the involvement of more organizations - it needs to be expanded. The aim is to reach the tool which can be used by as many organizations as possible and to receive as many donations as possible - while the potential is enormous - more than 50,000 organizations are registered in the Slovak Republic. The target groups of the project are civil society organizations and society in a broad sense.
The project established cooperation with companies and with a Norwegian partner, the NORSENSUS MEDIAFORUM, who will help prepare the program for the theoretical part and especially mentoring for CSOs how to prepare and set up a donor acquisition strategy. The goal is to improve the ability of organizations to harness the potential of the system and attract donors and donations online.
