More than 70 non-governmental organizations have received training on
how to obtain funds for social development tasks at an NGO Day run by
Microsoft Philippines and Philippine Business for Social Progress.
The event, at the Ortigas Center, Manila, included free workshops on
grant-writing, marketing, branding and project management, which are
critical tools for development work. Microsoft presented its Unlimited
Potential programme, a global initiative helping NGOs to realize their
potential to help with development. NGOs can apply for information
technology grants under this programme.
The invited speakers included representatives of USAID Philippines and the Asia Foundation.
