Abstract

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) increasingly rely on diversified funding strategies to sustain their operations and implement projects with social impact. Among the most relevant sources are international organizations, philanthropic foundations, and bilateral or multilateral agencies, which provide financial support through grants, calls for proposals, and structured partnerships. This article examines the dynamics of resource mobilization in NGOs, emphasizing the importance of strategic alignment between donor priorities and organizational missions. It discusses the role of transparent governance, accountability mechanisms, and performance measurement in strengthening trust and credibility, which are crucial for attracting and retaining funding partners. Furthermore, effective partnership management is analyzed as a core competency that ensures not only financial sustainability but also knowledge sharing, innovation, and long-term collaboration. By integrating insights from recent literature on development cooperation, NGO management, and partnership governance, the study highlights best practices for leveraging external resources while maintaining autonomy and maximizing project outcomes.
