Fundraising Fundraising or fund raising (also known as "development") is the process of soliciting and gathering voluntary contributions of money or other resources, by requesting donations from individuals, businesses, charitable foundations, or governmental agencies (see also crowd funding).

Traditionally, fundraising consisted mostly of asking for donations on the street or at people's doors, and this is experiencing very strong growth[citation needed] in the form of face-to-face fundraising, but new forms of fundraising such as online fundraising have emerged in recent years, though these are often based on older methods such as grassroots fundraising.

Aunque las tecnologías emergentes cada vez se imponen más en nuestras vidas, aún existe un amplio número de entidades que no provechan sus ventajas para sistematizar y adaptar sus procesos de gestión a dicho ámbito. Sin embargo, como un aspecto que cada vez cobra más importancia en nuestro entorno, debemos adquirir un compromiso social en el uso de las NTIC´s. Unido a este aspecto más ético, además nos encontramos en ocasiones con problemas económicos y legales debido a que la utilización de algunos de los programas más usados tienen un coste elevado en relación a los presupuestos que movemos en las entidades.
