The latest issue of Global Connections, the Resource Alliance's electronic newsletter, features an article by Rob Wells, Director of Catalyst Works, a marketing agency specialising in the non-profit sector, in which Wells challenges grantmakers to include capacity-building for resource mobilisation in their funding criteria. Wells asks "why won't donors invest in this area of capacity building? Why won't they put a little money into strengthening the independence of NGOs through encouraging financial sustainability (as opposed to financial management)?"
