An SLSC must plan an annual fundraising strategy to convince funding sources—the public, private companies (sponsorship) and the agencies that handle grant monies—that you are an efficient and worthy organisation that will use funds wisely. The SLSC must sell itself as a product.

Part of that planning process is establishing the links between the various components of the SLSC strategic plan, marketing plan and fundraising strategies. Any potential SLSC fundraising committee responsible should be aware of these and consulted during their development.

Refer to the SLS website for more information about fundraising for SLSCs.
