The Resource Alliance exists to connect and empower those people, organisations and entities that are creating positive, lasting change in the world. Through events like IFC and IFC Asia or programmess focused on leadership, scholarship and mentorship, we eat, sleep, live and breathe collaboration and all of the good things that come from it.
We often hear from people who have attended a Resource Alliance event or somehow otherwise expanded their fundraising or their vision or their confidence through a relationship with us. We cherish their stories and will be sharing them with you here, soon.

How AfriKids raised £1.2 million after attending IFC
AfriKids, a London-based organisation that protects the rights of children across northern Ghana, had a big fundraising goal: raise £210,000 in unrestricted funds in three months to be match-funded by the UK government through their UK Aid Match scheme.

Inspired, empowered to lead the way for fundraisers in Nepal
Thanks to his experiences with IFC and IFC Asia over a couple of years, Rewati Dhakal was inspired and empowered to change that. And in the process, he helped changed the face of fundraising and philanthropy in his country.
"I feel fully energized and inspired, I feel like no long validation processes, structures and hierarchies, can stop me from telling the stories of the thousands and million of people we help in the world."
"Being back at IFC this year gave me an opportunity to rethink everything we do as fundraisers and bring new ideas to the Latin American Markets."
"I've made really important connections and have brought home tools that will help me build my development department at my organization. I had a few light bulb moments with individuals who answered questions I had."
"I always leave with my mind challenged and refreshed, reminded why I love fundraising and why IFC is the event I always put in my calendar first."
