And yet it moves! Galileo but certainly are not the sentence is correct. And yet it moves ... the fundraising Italian. Some young people, a couple of bloggers, two or three operators in the fundraising, fundraiser a few, small company with advice, become major consulting firms (which can move 200,000 donors mailing from a cause other ), now 100 burned to the master of Forli on fundraising ...

The world of fundraising is changing, is moving. A world in turmoil, where Daniel, Paul, Francis S and Q Francis. and some others are certainly the newest thing in the world of fundraising for too long "stuck", almost suffocated. Now we talk, we discuss, you are confronted, there 'even those who try to write in English in his blog posts to make them more' understandable to the international community (and not the pidgin English of Rutelli on video presentation of portal www.italia.it, but the real one!). And Paul, try to be provocative, but admirable to do a blog in English instead of doing so in Italian. Says:

Dear Daniel,
your decision (to put a seat English, ndr) I think brings out a framework unfortunately not exciting Italian third sector. And I do not hide behind the excuse that we are still few. That Italian fundraising is still too young.
And I believe that:
- There is still little skills and little knowledge, even the basic of the strategic issues;
- It is close too often to this area with the belief that it is enough enthusiasm. But unfortunately there is to study and work, browse, request, test, sometimes slog than elsewhere and lower wages.
- High specialized training on fundraising has not yet had a profound effect on the overall Italian and perhaps the young talent still lacks security for daring to confront issues that seem unmanageable ... But it's worth it guys!
- The lack of an association or associations of reference (Assif unfortunately still not be) certainly does not help because it leaves the job of public fundraiser without dignity, without a grid of values and shared knowledge and even without real spaces for socialization. Will be the case thinking to camp? Our work and our organizations will leave there on time?

I remain convinced that this blog, like the others who were born in the last year, maybe with other spaces (forums, social networks, but also moments of meeting) is essential to grow their own culture of fundraising (as well as donations ) in this country. And in Italian, as can be tiring, it would be better.

But then I know that if we started with this experience is because we were looking for confrontation, and we were hungry for new professional knowledge, we wanted to learn to do better this wonderful job ... and in the infinite silence that too often our blogs are hard to let that happen.

With friendship

Seems like a nice view, not superficial, but where you notice how this grupposculo youth fundraiser (or professionals in the fundraising) is via the Internet by moving water. And yet it moves! Eureka! In Italy there is 'a great need for places where you can discuetere and reasoning of "fundraising", beyond the' logic of a "clique", but according to a logic of "gift". That's why we thought of the Festival of Fundraising. Of which I will talk soon and that my dream would be to start a place of lively and open debate.

The world belongs to those who can give empathy. The journey is certainly difficult to follow and presents great risks, I believe that the optimism of those who overthrew the primacy of conflict, the competitive market, it is the best option.
