We are proud to share that seven staff members from Bangladesh received a two-week training in Fund Raising Management. The training took place in Turkey and was organized by the Ibn Haldun University, Türk Kızılay, and Intuitive Institute. It aimed at training participants to become skilled fundraising managers. At the end of the program, participants received a certificate issued by Indiana University’s Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
The training will allow OBAT and our implementing partners to build strategies together and expand our fundraising efforts to local donations and not depend primarily on foreign support.
This was the staff’s very first time going abroad to receive training and we are very glad to provide them this opportunity.
OBAT would like to thank our advisors and OBAT friends: Dr. Shariq Siddiqui who was also a founding member of OBAT and is the Assistant Professor & Director of Muslim Philanthropy Initiative at Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy; and Tayyab Younus, founder, and CEO of Intuitive Solutions, who served as interim ED of OBAT during 2020. We are grateful for their support to make this training possible for our staff members. Thanks to the Intuitive Institute, our staff members’ registration fee was waived.
