Abstract

This is text of a presentation at the Workshop on Financial Sustainability for Civil Society Resource Organizations in Indonesia, held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, November 7-9, 2000.

This text begins with a basic overview of endowments and sources of endowment financing. Dr. Winder uses two case studies on endowment raising and investment from Puerto Rico, and the Philippines during this presentation to illustrate more about what an endowment-raising project entails. He provides further information about the status of CSRO endowments in Indonesia and raises a number of discussion questions about endowments. To conclude, Dr. Winder shares findings of Synergos' research on endowment development in regional areas such as Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Despite the challenges involved, Dr. Winder believes that organizations in Indonesia and around the world are successfully taking steps towards creating endowments to serve as a key element of long-range financial sustainability.
