Investment through the endowment
is the surest way of creating
a sustainable basis for generating
financial resources for the operations
and programmers of the FDC. From
this fund, only the income that
it generates is used, while the
fund itself remains untouched.
In an initial phase, the income
from the endowment will be invested
to finance the operational costs
of the FDC, which will facilitate
the mobilization of resources
for the implementation of development
programmers.
The
development of local philanthropy
will continue to be an important
component in the FDC's work, thus
in mobilizing resources, added
attention will be paid to domestic
sources of funding, namely:
Companies,
through the creation of mechanisms
whereby companies associate themselves
to the FDC and in a regular way
make donations to the organization
or to specific development programmers.
Several other ways of attracting
small and large contributions
will be designed and implemented
systematically.
Individuals,
who can regularly donate money
to FDC programmers. Knowing that
there are not many rich individuals
in Mozambique, the best ways of
encouraging a mass of small donations
will be explored, since taken
together, these could constitute
substantial resources.
The
Mozambican government,
contributing to the implementation
of programmers which, through
their nature, objectives, target
public and location, coincide
with the FDC's strategy. This
existing possibility with be negotiated
with the Mozambican government.
In
mobilizing resources in general,
priority should be given to funding
of a multi-year nature because
of the unpredictable nature of
financial donations. Efforts will
continue to be undertaken in order
to improve aspects of an institutional
nature for greater efficiency
in mobilization of resources.
These aspects include making fully
operational the Department of
Assets and Investments, endowed
with the financial, human and
technical resources needed to
carry out its mission successfully;
the production of policies and
norms for resource mobilization,
investment, and the management
of assets and trust funds; regular
and organized fund-raising campaigns;
the establishment of efficient
systems for relating to donors
and for institutional marketing.
