Resumen
               The Centro de Educação Profissional Calábria wanted to inform more people in the community about the services and opportunities they offer and to raise funds to improve the quality of their courses.
They had no previous fundraising experience, but decided to approach local companies with a description of several small projects in need of funding. One company decided to get involved and is still a partner.
The second plan was the establishment of a car wash as a permanent source of income for the school. Customers were found among the local businesses that were approached for fundraising purposes.
Both the partnership with the company and the car wash still exist and keep generating income for the Vocational Training Center.

                    This was an important experience for the Center, inspiring new initiatives of this type. The institution had no previous experience with the description of small projects to present to potential partners and donors.

                    This is a good example of involving the beneficiaries of your organisation in fundraising activities. The beneficiaries benefit by gathering working experience and at the same time contribute to raising funds for the organisation. Another nice aspect of this activity is that the school has chosen to target a specific group - local companies - and that they have established a partnership with one company ensuring long-term support for the organisation.
