OUR M IS S I O N OUR VISI ON Venture for Fund Raising envisions a community that celebrates the joy of giving and ensures a bountiful and sustainable world. To provide training, consulting, research and public information assistance to people and organizations so that they can raise and give resources to fulfill their missions. ABOUT THE COVER : Onward and upward always! The images of the hot air balloons represent the direction that Venture undertook in 2008. The vivid colors of the balloons symbolize the dynamism and energy of the entire Venture team and the diversity of its expertise and outlook. M M E S S AG E F ROM T H E CH A I R PE R S O N OVING UP Last September 3 to 4, 2008, Venture for Fund Raising held the Third Fund Raising Congress and Kyra Awards. Entitled “Moving Up”, the Congress theme aimed to empower the participants to take the next step in realizing bigger and more challenging goals in fund raising. The Congress itself was characteristic of moving up. It has grown to become an impressive forum where best practices are shared and provides a venue for networking with other fund raising professionals. The 3rd Fund Raising Congress welcomed 229 delegates, 38 speakers, and 15 fund raising exhibitors and service providers. Likewise, the Kyra Awards have become synonymous with excellence in fund raising, with a record-breaking 19 entries for outstanding fund raising programs. In its ninth year of existence, Venture for Fund Raising also dared to aspire for higher goals, do greater things, and reach out to more organizations. The theme of the Congress, therefore, also aptly characterizes Venture’s journey throughout the course of the year. As the first organization with the mission to provide training, consulting, research and public information assistance to non-profits, Venture prides itself on the strength of its people. In 2008, we welcomed Jowie Jazmines as a Program Director. She brought with her a wealth of fund raising experience as a member of the Private Sector Fund Raising Team of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), where she worked for eleven years. Jowie managed several of the organization’s regular direct mail appeals and handled UNICEF’s Emergency Fund Raising Campaign where she helped raise more than P40 million within four years. Jowie joins Executive Director Mayan Quebral, Program Directors Pinky Medina and Louie Baclagon, and Operations Director Marinor Narzoles, in a highly-experienced team of fund raising experts. Her inclusion in the team has strengthened Venture’s practitionerdriven approach. Together, the team boasts of over 60 years of collective fund raising experience from different fields of expertise. With these five professionals at the helm, Venture is now better able to provide focused and customized services to clients with various organizational structures and advocacies. Over the past nine years, our team of professionals has helped 829 organizations, delivered 49 public courses, visited 24 countries in 5 continents, and organized 3 Fund Raising Congresses. Yet, we continue to dream, seeking to aid more organizations, and tirelessly promote and teach the joy of giving. Indeed, it has been a year of moving up, but we are committed to keep striving for excellence as we look forward to even better things to come. Jasen Ko Chairman 1 G LO B A L F R I E N D R A ISIN G In 2008, Venture expanded its reach to 24 countries in 5 continents. The international perspective from the past year’s travels highlighted the idea that fund raising, in the broad sense, is applicable wherever in the world you may go. Yet, inasmuch as fund raising is a shared experience, it is also a highly distinctive experience. Apart from global commonalities, fund raising has different sets of paradigms unique to its situation and context, as every organization brings its own individual nuances. Cambodia In January, Venture traveled to Phnom Penh, Cambodia through the Program on Rights and Justice (PRAJ). A human rights and rule of law program, PRAJ was awarded to the East-West Management Institute (EWMI) by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It aimed to improve the quality of the justice sector and uphold human rights in Cambodia through training, technical assistance and grantmaking. EWMI’s main partner for PRAJ is ABA, the American Bar Association. The Art of Asking with Major Donors, Phonm Penh Cambodia 2 Face-to-Face Solicitation Activity FR Planning Workshop, Tbilisi, Georgia EMWI-PRAJ was the first project engagement where we traveled with our entire Program Team. The team conducted simultaneous interventions including training, consultations and assessments. This international workshop also marked the first time that Venture conducted a large training session on social enterprise, since most partners were already exploring raising funds through the sale of products and services. As each group had a different level of readiness, the customized interventions allowed each organization to have their fund raising needs properly addressed. Georgia Later in the year, in June, we were once again invited to work with the Catholic Organization for Relief and Development Aid (Cordaid) in Tbilisi, Georgia. Venture conducted fund raising training workshops for Cordaid partners in its Health and Well-being and Participation sectors. The engagement was the first occasion where we were given the opportunity to be involved in an Eastern European country through sector-wide interventions. Armenian organizations were likewise represented in the workshops, where we shared the Asian and Eastern European experiences in fund raising. T H E YE A R I N R EVI EW The engagement aimed to strengthen the fund raising capacities of Cordaid’s partners in Georgia and Armenia to enable them to work on their long-term sustainability through skills building. The Cordaid partners exhibited new awareness in implementing creative fund raising activities and an appreciation of the fund raising planning process. Venture was also able to participate in the fund raising activities of the partners, such as an art exhibit event organized by mental health associations in Georgia, and participate in a Corporate Social Responsibility forum as a guest speaker on Giving Trends in Asia and Eastern Europe. Having worked with Ndoba, a psychosocial intervention NGO based in Tbilisi in the previous year, Venture was also able to build closer ties with this Cordaid partner through the workshops. Thailand Bridging 2007 to 2008 was the partnership with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) to conduct a resource mobilization training workshop and post-training monitoring to the Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA) network. There were 24 participants in attendance, representing various Asian countries such as Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Venture worked with the multinational group to conduct training on diversifying fund sources, building a broad stakeholder base, strategic financial management, donor reporting, information on various resource mobilization strategies, negotiation and communication planning. Our team traveled again to Bangkok, Thailand in April for fund raising training in partnership with the Sustainable Mekong Research Network (Sumernet), an organization that is funded by the Stockholm Environment Institute Asia (SEIA). Sumernet sought Venture’s assistance in providing a training program focused on building their fund raising knowledge and skills, particularly in strategizing their fund raising efforts and developing a collective fund raising proposal for the network. M OV I N G PA RT N E R S U P The past year represented a moving up for Venture for Fund Raising, not only in terms of our increased global presence but also the expansion of our local work. In 2008, we began to work with a variety of sectors covering a wider range of non-profit advocacies. Some of our notable projects from last year include: Pusod Pilipinas, an environmental organization whose mission is to protect and enhance the ecosystems of the Philippines and to show their significance to the world. Pusod first worked with Venture in May for a fund raising consulting program that included a fund raising orientation and planning workshop where there was a transfer of technical know-how, skills and mindset for fund raising. The project was also significant because it was the first time that we provided technical assistance by collaborating Exchange of Ideas, FR Training for Sumernet, Bangkok, Thailand 3 or amendments in the existing animal-welfare laws of the Philippines. AKFI contracted Venture for Fund Raising for a Fund Raising Technical Assistance Program to assist in laying down the groundwork for its institutional fund raising campaign. Fund Raising Training on Earned Income, Phnom Penh, Cambodia with the organization in the development of their communication materials. Venture worked with Pusod and BBDO Guerrero for its institutional fund raising campaign and presentations for the opening of the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco where Pusod was featured in the Balayan Bay Exhibit. Animal Kingdom Foundation, Inc. (AKFI) has been at the forefront of animal welfare and advocacy in the country since 2002. Its mission is to support, protect and promote the welfare and the rights of animals; to eliminate the practice of illegal slaughter of dogs for human consumption; and to introduce legislation 4 The Asia Foundation Transparent Accountable Governance project (TAF-TAG) was a three-phase capacity building program for TAF-TAG NGO Partners to train, monitor and evaluate the organizations’ fund raising capacities. The Knowledge Sharing Workshop was able to give us a better understanding of how the participants were able to put the learnings from the Basic Course on Fund Raising into practice. The participants were given the chance to share their experiences individually, show successes and convey how they M dealt with their limitations with regard to fund raising. The fund raising activities that the organizations conducted enabled them to discover their strengths and weaknesses in their fund raising efforts and identified further needs that they needed to address. IN THE WORDS OF OUR CLIENTS “Fund raising is everybody’s business.” - Fr. Gregg Bañaga, Jr., C.M. President of Adamson University, after attending Venture’s two-day Fund Raising Planning Workshop with other key stakeholders of the university O V I N G O U T WH I L E MOV I N G U P Moving Out of the Box With over 300,000 non-profit organizations in the Philippines alone, finding your niche in fund raising may at times be an incredibly daunting task. In 2008, organizations began to take a step further in ensuring financial sustainability through innovative campaigns. Creativity is a major factor in engaging donors. Over the past year, inventive and original campaigns captured the hearts and pockets of donors worldwide. This international development was observed by Venture in both the Philippines through The Kyra Awards and as far as in Georgia. Art Exhibit and Fund Raising organized by mental health organizations, Tbilisi, Georgia M OVING TOGETHER TOWARD MOVING UP Moving Out of Your Comfort Zone Not all organizations, however, are prepared to take the step towards creative fund raising. One of the challenges we encountered in 2008 was the management of this paradigm shift. Many organizations, across different regions and sectors, are still reliant on grants to fund their programs. In some occasions, our recommendations for diversified funding were met with apprehension and doubt. Organizations would sometimes become wary, resulting in a palpable resistance and tension to the idea of diversifying fund sources and exploring other strategies such as earned income and individual giving. Undeterred, Venture kept striving towards its goal of teaching the joy of giving to organizations in the Philippines and across the globe. Through its training and consultancy services, we aimed to demonstrate to organizations that there are other sources of income available to non-profit organizations apart from grants. Indeed, our work is never done until clients achieve diversity in funding for their financial sustainability. Another important realization over the course of our engagements is that fund raising interventions are more effective in assisting with the paradigm shift when these are brought in during the earlier stages of transition. Organizations need money to raise money, and funding support of grantee organizations during the transition to financial sustainability is essential. The optimal intervention occurs when Venture is brought in by funding agencies to assist organizations a year or two prior to their departure. As in any industry, success in non-profit fund raising requires a keen awareness of current market trends. Venture’s international and multi-sectoral exposure in 2008 provided an opportunity to recognize the nuances of global donor trends. Larger donor agencies have begun to engage more frequently with government and networks to enable grants to reach a wider group of beneficiaries. In response to this, non-profit organizations have started to form coalitions and aggregated themselves into unified groups. This consolidation of likeminded organizations was experienced by the team firsthand in Georgia, where Venture conducted a three and a half day fund raising training workshop for the Health and Well-being Sector of Cordaid. The workshop provided fourteen Georgian organizations with an occasion to interact with each other and to convene a Special Meeting for a Mental Health Coalition. In light of current donor trends, a coalition presents greater opportunities in strategizing fund raising and reinforcing each member’s commitment to financial sustainability. TIPS: Important Considerations in Forming a Coalition Ensure that organizations are aligned in their mission and the overarching cause that unifies the members. Conduct strategic planning and budgeting for the coalition. Collaborate together to finalize the organizational structure and governance. Clarify the objectives and roles of the coalition and the privileges of its members. Clarify roles and responsibilities of member organizations. 5 IN THE WORDS OF OUR CLIENTS BASIC COURSE ON FUND RAISING The Basic Course on Fund Raising (BCFR) is one of the first services that Venture for Fund Raising offers to the public. It is a three-day workshop that teaches the essential principles and strategies of professional fund raising through lectures and interactive activities. BCFR workshops showcase studies from former clients and cite examples from the fund raising experience of organizations that we have worked with in the past. Thirty-eight participants joined the two BCFR workshops that were organized last year. All Venture staff are required to undergo BCFR training. As the fundamental building block for fund raising training, the BCFR can be supplemented by our other courses, which include The Art of Asking, The Fund Raising Planning Workshop, and Special Events Fund Raising. 6 “It is important to know the Greenpeace donors and to keep them happy!” Basic Course on Fund Raising participants (December 2008) - Judy Cruz-Malabanan, Database and Supporter Services Officer of Greenpeace Southeast Asia (Philippines), after attending Venture’s one-day Fund Raising Training on Donor Management with other members of the Supporter Services Unit WHAT’S NEW WITH VENTURE In 2008, Venture began to expand its consultancy services. In previous years, the Operations Team was mainly concerned with internal affairs. In the past year, however, Operations Director Marinor Narzoles became part of the Project Team for consultations or training sessions involving organizational analysis. Marinor also joined assessments and brought in her extensive expertise in financial management to assist on the costing side of the projects or to develop organizational efficiency recommendations. Apart from operations analysis and consulting, human resources management also became part of Venture’s portfolio. Venture for Fund Raising became part of the hiring team for SOS Children’s Villages, posting job announcements and conducting initial screening of the applicants. Venture Management Team 3rd F UND R A ISIN G C O N G R E S S the 229 delegates in dialogues and interactive sessions fostering an atmosphere of mutual learning. Dr. Ned Roberto, Plenary Speaker, FRC 2008 Over the course of nine years, Venture has helped over eight hundred organizations and conducted forty-nine basic courses on fund raising. Now that this pioneer organization has forged a path for non-profits in the field of fund raising, even more questions and concerns arise. How do I ask for larger donations? Should I bring my donors to the field? Should they be sent more materials? Answers to these and many more were revealed at the 3rd Philippine Fund Raising Congress (FRC 2008), a biennial conference, exhibition and awards program created and organized by Venture for Fund Raising. The third installment of the congress was held on September 3 and 4, 2008 at the Mandarin Oriental Suites in Cubao, Quezon City. The congress brought together 38 notable experts and speakers to share best practices and new approaches, engaging FRC 2008 was privileged to have Atty. Alexander Lacson, author of “12 Little Things Every Filipino Can Do To Help Our Country” as the Conference Keynote Speaker. A Philippine bestseller, Atty. Lacson’s book inspires Filipinos by affirming that each person has the power to change the country for the better. His was an apt and motivating message especially for non-profit organizations seeking to be national catalysts for change. The congress also provided delegates the opportunity to hear distinguished professionals discuss a wide array of fund raising issues through three plenary sessions and thirteen breakout sessions. Among our noted speakers were Dr. Ned Roberto of Roberto & Associates, Inc., Ms. Vivienne Chiam of IDRC, Mr. Jose Luis Oquiñena of Gawad Kalinga, Mr. Grant Cassidy of World Vision, Mr. Dickie Soriano of BCD Pinpoint, and Ms. Cecil Oebanda of Visayan Forum. Beyond the plenary and breakout sessions, participants were also given the opportunity to learn more about and interact with service providers for fund raising. A total of fifteen exhibitors shared the latest technologies and services for online donor portals, websites, research publications and database development for non-profit organizations. The two-day 3rd Fund Raising Congress was supported by Cordaid, Reconnect by MRM Worldwide, The Philippine Postal Corporation, Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation, Gakken (Philippines), Inc. and PesoPay eBigay. The Philippine Daily Inquirer and 98.7 dzFE helped promote the event. FRC Participants listen attentively at a plenary session. Atty. Alexander L. Lacson, Keynote Speaker, FRC 2008 7 KY R A AWA R D S The Kyra Awards, established during the First Fund Raising Congress in 2004, was a highlight of the conference. A pioneer in celebrating the fund raising best practices of Philippine non-profit organizations, the multi-category Kyra Awards was established to acknowledge the successes of creative resource mobilization, and to celebrate partnerships between the profit and non-profit sectors. Venture received a record-breaking 19 nominations for The Kyra Awards, each with an inspiring story and commendable achievements in fund raising. Judging The Kyra Awards were five professionals with extensive experience in fund raising, communications and social development. Dr. Ned Roberto, chairman and president of Roberto & Associates, Inc., served as the Chairman of the Board of Judges. A highly sought-after consultant, Dr. Roberto has authored nine books on marketing research and segmentation, social marketing, and local governance. Joining him on the panel were Ms. Marlene Ochoa of Manila North Tollways Corporation, Ms. Cosette Romero of Fleishmann-Hillard Manila, Business Development Consultant Mr. Gulliver Go and Ms. Fely Soledad of Philippine Council for NGO Certification. The first award presented was The Kyra-PhilPost Best Direct Mail Campaign Award, which recognizes programs that raised funds to support ongoing work for the organization through printed pieces sent out in the mail. To promote awareness and raise funds for their programs on the issue of Children in Conflict with the Law, United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) launched their “Kuya Bill” Direct Mail Campaign. An innovative campaign that raised over Php 5 million, it garnered the top prize in this first category of awards. Philippine Science High School Foundation, Inc. was presented with The Kyra Best Special Event Award in recognition of their art exhibit entitled “Aruga”, Handog ng Sining sa Agham (“Care”, The Gift of the Arts to the Sciences). The exhibit featured and sold the works of noted painter Joven Ignacio and PSHS student Myra Ruth Picart, a budding art prodigy. Guests were also entertained by a mini-concert featuring the musical talents of the PSHS students. The project, which benefited the school’s Godparent Program, raised funds to provide needed financial assistance for scholars, as well as support for their emotional and social development programs.

The KyraShell Best NPO-Corporate Partnership Campaign Award recognizes this by honoring the nonprofit that has partnered with a corporation to generate funds, not through requests of philanthropy and gifts but through a marketing campaign beneficial to both. For their “Breathing Life Through Innovative Media” campaign, the Haribon and GMA Network Partnership was granted the award. The Haribon-GMA partnership was one of a series of awareness-generating activities in a national environmental conservation movement entitled “Road to 2020” or Rainforestation Organizations and Advocates to Year 2020”. This resulted in tree-planting partnerships with large and small corporations, schools, funding institutions and individuals, in both volunteer time and monetary support.

Venture congratulates all the winners and nominees of The Kyra Awards! The overwhelming response to the call for nominations and the high caliber of the entries is testament to the dynamism and passion that characterizes the work of nonprofit organizations in the Philippines. We look forward to the next Fund Raising Congress and Kyra Awards in 2010 for even more inspiring stories from these outstanding organizations and leaders in social development.

For their notable achievements in their Fund Raising Best Practices 2007 campaign, this award was won by World Vision Development Foundation, Inc. The campaigns yielded an average of 6,000 new child sponsorships for 2007, a donor retention rate of 92%, and a 34% growth in total donations from the previous year. Yet, more than the numbers, the campaign also built effective relationships through “hard work, good marketing and fund raising skills, innovative ideas, exceptional relational skills, right connections, good timing and access to information”.

Unit 2801 Jollibee Plaza, F. Ortigas Jr. Road Ortigas Center, Pasig City We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and fund balances of VENTURE FOR FUND RAISING FOUNDATION, INC. as of December 31, 2008 and the statement of receipts and disbursement, changes in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended, and summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion exclusively on the Financial Statements for the year January 1 to December 31, 2008. It bears to stress that the financial statements for the year ending 2007 were presented side by side with the 2008 financial statements solely for comparative purposes as required by various government agencies. However, we cannot vouch for the fairness and correctness of these 2007 financial statements as such were audited by another external auditor. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Opinion Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. In our opinion the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of VENTURE FOR FUND RAISING FOUNDATION, INC. as of December 31, 2008, and of its financial performance and its cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Philippines. Auditor’s Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audits in accordance with Philippine Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatements. 16 An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used & the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

As such, the Foundation is entitled to the benefits under Section 34 (H) (1) or (2); and Exemption from Donor’s Tax Pursuant to Section 101 (A) (3) of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, subject to the representations and commitments set forth in its application for accreditation filed with the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC), the provisions of applicable rules and regulations of the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the terms and conditions set forth on the reverse side thereof. The present principal office address of the Foundation is located at Unit 2801 Jollibee Plaza, F. Ortigas Jr. Road, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. It had 10 and 8 employees as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Financial Statements of the Foundation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were authorized for issue by the Board of Trustees on April 1, 2009. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES asis of Preparation B The financial statements of the Foundation have been prepared on a historical cost basis and are presented in Philippine peso. Statement of Compliance The financial statements of the Foundation have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Philippines, as set forth in the applicable Statements of Financial Accounting Standards and Statements of Financial Accounting Standards/International Accounting Standards effective as of December 31, 2004. The Foundation qualifies as a non-publicly accountable entity under Philippine Accounting Standards 101, Financial Reporting Standards for Non-Publicly Accountable Entities, and accordingly, availed of the option not to apply the new Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) that became effective for the annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2005. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes cash on hand and with banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of sixty days more or less from dates of acquisition and that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Receivables Receivables are stated at face value, after allowance for doubtful accounts, if any. A provision for allowance is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to terms of the receivables. The basis of the level of allowance is past collection experience and other factors that affects the net realizable value of the receivable. Property and equipment Property & equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment in value. The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its 19 purchase price, taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the asset has been put into operations, such as repairs and maintenance costs, are normally charged to operations in the period the costs are incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditures have resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of an item beyond its originally assessed standard of performance, the expenditures are capitalized as an additional cost of property and equipment. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment as follows: Books Computer equipments Furniture and fixtures Training equipment Office and other equipments Software Licenses Leasehold improvements 5 years 3-5 years 5 years 5 years 1-5 years 1-2 years 3-5 years whichever is shorter with the life of the lease The useful lives and depreciation/amortization method are reviewed at each balance sheet date to ensure that the periods and method of depreciation and amortization are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property and equipment. Impairment of assets An assessment is made at balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of property and equipment and other long-lived assets, or whether there is any indicationthat an impairment loss previously recognized for an asset in prior years may no longer exist or may have decreased. 20 If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the asset’s value in use or its net selling price. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to operations in the year in which it arises. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of an asset, however, not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is credited to current operations. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Foundation and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized: Grants and Donations Project grants donations are recognized as revenue when actually received and expenses are reported when incurred. However, grants and donations that are subject to conditions/restrictions are preserved exclusively for the purpose/s for which they were bestowed. Other Income Other income is derived from sale of books, registration fees on public training courses and other consulting or training services for fees. Every two years, the Foundation conducts an activity known as the Fund Raising Congress where it generates other income from the sale of books and fees from delegates and exhibitors. The 3rd Fund Raising Congress was held in Mandarin Oriental Suites in Gateway Mall, Quezon City last September 3 and 4, 2008. Interest Income Revenue is recognized as the interest accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset. Project Costs Project costs include all direct and indirect costs related to the project and are expensed as incurred. Leases Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Statement of Income based on terms of the agreement. Income Taxes Current income tax. Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of assets, liabilities and fund balances date. Deferred income tax. Deferred income tax is provided using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and their related tax bases; net operating loss carry-over (NOLCO); and the carry forward benefit of the excess of minimum corporate income tax (MCIT) over the regular income tax. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rates applicable to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled and NOLCO & MCIT are expected to be applied. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Provisions and contingencies Provisions are recognized only when (a) the Foundation has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, (b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and (c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Foundation expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Provisions, if any, are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Foreign Currency Transactions The Foundation’s foreign-currency denominated transactions are converted to Philippine pesos, which is the foundation’s functional currency, and recorded in the books based on the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates. All exchange gains or losses arising from foreign currency transactions and translations are credited to or charged against current operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Foundation to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the Foundation’s assets andliabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the period reported. Actual results may vary from our estimates. The effect of any changes in estimates is recorded in the Foundation’s financial statements when determinable. 21 2008 FUND BALANCES, BEGINNING Add: Net excess of receipts (deficit) over disbursements 1,750,071.47 7,545,870.92 Subsequent Events After Balance Sheet Date TOTAL FUND BALANCES, END 9,295,942.39 See accompanying Notes Financial Statements.

A B OU T VE N T UR E Dedicated to assisting people and organizations raise and give resources to fulfill their missions. A decade ago, non-profit organizations began to feel the brunt of reduced foreign funding as grant-giving organizations began channeling their resources to other countries. Recognizing this challenge, a group of development professionals came together to discuss effective means of addressing the issue. This collaboration led to the establishment of Venture for Fund Raising in March 1999. This group of dedicated visionaries dared to dream of a future where non-profits have diverse funding sources, are more professionally-run, and have a critical mass of committed donors and volunteers.

The Fund Raising Congress is also the home of The Kyra Awards, the pioneer in celebrating outstanding programs and campaigns in non-profit fund raising. V enture for Fund Raising also aims to promote financial sustainability through providing public information and research materials to nonprofit organizations.
