The event had three speakers, including Handoko Soetomo from Remdec, an organization that supported MADANI partners’ resource mobilization over the past year, Hamid Abidin, an expert on civil society fundraising, and Sri Mulyati from Yayasan SAPA in Bandung, a MADANI CSO partner that was able to raise 7 billion rupiah for multi-year programs in 2023. A quick survey conducted by REMDEC in August 2023 among MADANI partners showed that partners had raised more than US $1 million (IDR 16.7 billion) over the past year, partly to be used for ongoing programming and partly to be used for core support after MADANI ends in March 2024 (MADANI is presently verifying this figure). All 31 MADANI CSO partners have successfully diversified their funding activities in order to build their financial and strategic independence, including 15 partners signing new small-scale procurement contracts with government counterparts (Swakelola Tipe III). Nineteen partners raised funds from the private sector and 11 received funding from philanthropies. Seven organizations were successful in their offline public fundraising activities. Sixteen of the 31 partners diversified their funding through various income generation activities, such as guesthouses and consultancies. Nevertheless, donor funding was still a major source of income for stronger CSO partners, and the four strongest organizations still attributed 80% of their total funding to donors even though they had started to diversify their funding streams. The most notable shift in the CSO funding landscape mentioned during the seminar, corroborated by MADANI research, is that more and more local governments are now willing to provide open and competitive funding to local CSOs, and not only to government-affiliated social organizations such as in the past.
