"If we only ever see Northern donors as the people with the money, that's the only place we will ever apply ourselves to getting funds. And yet there are other people and groups of people in the world who do have money. It may just be a matter of opening our eyes to see this, and when looking, do so creatively. Quite often we don't see the possibilities, because we are too caught up in the realities. It may be worthwhile asking someone else what they can see." This is according to a presentation by Ruth Osborne from Promotions for Non-Profits, originally made at the Community Information Network of Southern Africa Conference 11-14 August 2003.
