Abstract
Fundraising is the process by which a not-for-profit organization (NPO) receives funding to finance its activities. Although private donors as well as the state are target groups when it comes to raising funds, the term fundraising is more closely associated with philanthropic giving and attracting private support for not-for-profit causes. During the 1990s, the use of the term “fundraising” grew beyond the English-speaking countries of North America, the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is now used all over Western Europe, be it in the German-speaking countries, France, Italy, Spain, or Scandinavia.
