And yet it moves! Galileo is not the phrase but certainly is the right one. Yet it moves ... the fundraising Italian. Some young people, a couple of bloggers, two or three operators of fundraising, some fundraisers, small companies of advice, become major consulting company (which can move 200,000 donors mailings from one case to another ), now burned 100 to the master of Forli on fundraising ...

The world of fundraising is changing, is moving. A world in turmoil, where Daniel , Paul , Francis D and Q Francesco . and some are certainly the newest thing in the world of fundraising for too long "hold" almost suffocated. Now we talk, we discuss, we compare, there are those who even try to write in English in his blog posts to make them more understandable to the international community (and not the broken English of Rutelli on the 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 an English people, ed) I think highlights a framework unfortunately not exciting the Italian third sector. And I do not hide behind the excuse that we are still few. That the fundraising is still too young Italian.
It seems to me that:
- There is still lack of professionalism and little knowledge, even basic strategic themes;
- We too often approach this sector with the belief that it is enough enthusiasm. But unfortunately there is to study and work, browse, request, test, sometimes slog than elsewhere and with lower salaries.
- The highly specialized training on fundraising not have had a profound effect on the general framework and Italian maybe the young players still lack the security to dare to confront issues that seem intractable ... 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 work of public fundraiser without dignity, without a grid of values and shared knowledge and without proper spaces of socialization. The case will be thinking about the camp? Our work and our organizations there leave time?

I remain convinced that this blog, like the others who were born in the last year, perhaps accompanied by other spaces (forums, social networks, but also moments of meeting) is fundamental right to grow a 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 because we were looking for confrontation, and we were eager for new professional knowledge, we wanted to learn to do better this wonderful job ... and in the infinite silence that too often our blog have left is difficult happen.

With friendship

Seems like a nice view, not superficial, but where this is known as grupposculo youth fundraiser (or fundraising professionals) is through the internet moving waters. 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 the Festival Fundraising . Whom you speak short and that my dream would be to start a place of lively and open debate.

The world belongs to those who can offer empathy. The path taken is certainly difficult to navigate and presents major risks: I think the optimism of those who overthrew the primacy of conflict, competitive market, is the trump card.
