One of the unique things about CISV is that it is a not-for-profit organisation. This means that CISV must raise most of its funds itself, be it at a local, national or international level.

This page provides suggestions and information regarding fundraising efforts undertaken. The document below provides an explanation of how to approach potential fundees, whilst the table provides an outline of some of the funding that CISV groups have received recently.
