Dear All

Just in case you have missed this one, the European Court of Justice
has issued a new ruling on cross-border giving, which, if it is
eventually accepted into national laws in the EU states, is good news
for philanthropists and fundraisers.

I have compiled the details and some links at

All the best

Hi Jim,
In short, I would say definitely you should engage with them and that
they very well may be a source of funding.  I have worked for a few HE
institutions which have successfully engaged students who were either
on exchange progs or enrolled in short, one year, courses.  One in
particular was an older alum who turned out to work for a donor
consortium in the US and has been an ongoing source of very
substantial funding.

I think it doesn't matter how long the student was at the institution,
it matters how much they enjoyed their time there and whether or not
they feel a connection with it... the latter is something that
Development can help with!  Also, as Tufts has a v good reputation, I
imagine international students might wish to maintain a relationship
w/the institution for a) the prestige and b) the networking, so again
Dev can use this to their advantage if you host things like alumni
networking events to which these folks get invited.

Best wishes,
Heather

Here at Tufts University we have an active study aboard program for
our students. At the same time, however, we also have students from
abroad who come to Tufts to study for 1 year or a semester.

Do any of you know if your university has a similar program bringing
students from abroad to your university for a short time, and do you
make attempts to engage and/or solicit these international students
for donations? Are there any success stories?

I have read in the past that international students often have a
strong affinity for other universities they have attended, even if
only for a semester or year. We are hoping to make the case to our DOs
and technical staff that these students could be a valuable
fundraising resource.

Dear all

I have been searching high and low for a directory of some kind (along
the lines of the DSC Guide To Company Giving) which allows one to
search companies with a Europe-wide or global presence by search
criteria such as CSR/Corporate Community Involvement policies, as well
as areas in which they operate.

Does anyone know of such a thing - either hard copy or as an online
directory?

If not, is there a next best thing?

Thanks so much in advance

Bonnie Clayton

Hi All,

Have any of you purchased the guides on european funding published by
ECAS?  If so, thoughts please?  I am not sure how relevant something
published only once/twice a year can be, but on the other hand they're
not very expensive.

Many thanks!

Hi All!

Does any one have any hints and tips on resources for researching
foundations in the Gulf. I'm currently looking at a foundation in UAE,
and I only have the website to go by.

Thanks

Hello All,

Just seen this article on the Third Sector... Looks like we should be
investing more in Europe in this current economic crisis!...

European fundraisers 'expect finances to grow'
By Hannah Jordan , Third Sector Online, 16 October 2008

Fundraisers across Europe are expecting their finances to grow
despite the economic downturn, according to a study unveiled at the
International Fundraising Congress in Holland yesterday.

The State of the Not-For-Profit Industry Survey from third sector
technology consultancy Blackbaud asked 466 organisations in the UK,
Germany and Holland questions on issues including fundraising, use of
the internet, general operations and accountability and stewardship.

It revealed that Dutch organisations were most optimistic, with 78
per cent of respondents expecting income to grow this financial year,
compared with 63 per cent of UK respondents and 52 per cent of those
from Germany.

Fundraisers were also positive about 2009, with financial growth
expected by 86 per cent of Dutch charities, 71 per cent in the UK and
62 per cent of German organisations that responded. However, it
showed that none expected to increase staffing levels.

About half of all organisations surveyed forecast an increase in
online donations. Web communication was considered vital by almost 70
per cent of UK respondents, but only 34 per cent were happy with
their own site.The full report will be available on 1 November.

Hi Everyone,
Trying this out...  I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend the meeting as we
had a big event on, but thanks Jude for organising!

I had intended to bring this up though.  We have had a subscription to
Welcome Europe (online database and email alerts) for the past three
months, just to try it out, and I must say I've found it totally
useless.  However, I'm wondering whether their books are more useful,
and that perhaps the functionality of their searches just isn't set
properly (for the d/b).

Does anyone else subscribe to any of their books/services?  Thoughts?

Best wishes,
Heather
