Research and Budget for development fund or company?or sponsor support from tax? or fundraising for charity?
Whether it be a parent, child, friend, colleague or family member, a personal connection drives people to fundraise. Fundraising in memory is a big part of this motivating factor as well – people fundraise to honour someone they loved.
Running a marathon, skydiving for the first time, or cycling the Alps is a great personal challenge. And if fundraisers can raise money for charity while they’re at it, even better.

Disappointed with the lack of quality scientific research and products by Indonesian scientists, the government has set up a trust fund to generate and distribute funding for scientific research.
The scheme is the first of its kind in the country.
The trust fund, called the Indonesia Science Fund (DIPI), was established based on a 2012 report titled '€œCreating an Indonesian Science Fund'€ published by the Indonesian Academy of Sciences (AIPI), which explained in detail the funding problems plaguing the country'€™s scientific research.
Despite its high literacy rate of 95.6 percent and numerous quality universities and research institutions, Indonesia ranked 57th in the number of papers published in peer-reviewed journals between 1996 and 2014. The majority of Indonesian scientists shared their research credits with foreign scientists, with 74 percent of the country'€™s scientific projects coming in the form of international collaborations.

Why do people raise money for charity? We asked our fundraisers to write in their answers and the results are in! Here are the top five reasons that drive people to fundraise:
1. They want to support a particular charity
The number one reason for online fundraising is to support a particular charity close to the fundraiser’s heart: they know who they want to raise money for and they are motivated to do it.
2. They are inspired by a person or people
Whether it be a parent, child, friend, colleague or family member, a personal connection drives people to fundraise. Fundraising in memory is a big part of this motivating factor as well – people fundraise to honour someone they loved.3. To support a cause
People care deeply about their personal passions and look for charities that support their causes. It’s not just about the charity itself – the underlying cause is what really drives people.
4. To feel good
Helping others, making a difference, and getting fit motivates fundraisers too.
5. To take part in an event
Running a marathon, skydiving for the first time, or cycling the Alps is a great personal challenge. And if fundraisers can raise money for charity while they’re at it, even better.
There are lots of other motivations behind fundraising as well, including wanting to support local concerns, being part of a corporate group and for religious reasons.
So what does this mean for your organisation?
Firstly, remember that your supporters make great fundraisers. Encourage your committed donors to take on a fundraising challenge or event and ask them to get the message out there, such as why your charity means so much to them.
Also, think about your fundraising messaging. Remember, people don’t only fundraise because they want to participate in the event: highlight your cause and how good fundraising feels.

The budgets adopted on March 19 by the House Budget Committee and the Senate Budget Committee each cut more than $3 trillion over ten years (2016-2025) from programs that serve people of limited means. These deep reductions amount to 69 percent of the cuts to non-defense spending in both the House and Senate plans.
Each budget plan derives more than two-thirds of its non-defense budget cuts from programs for people with low or modest incomes even though these programs constitute less than one-quarter of federal program costs. Moreover, spending on these programs is already scheduled to decline as a share of the economy between now and 2025.[1]
The bipartisan deficit reduction plan that Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles (co-chairs of the National Commission on Federal Policy) issued in 2010 adhered to the basic principle that deficit reduction should not increase poverty or widen inequality. The new Congressional plans chart a radically different course, imposing their most severe cuts on people on the lower rungs of the economic ladder.

TO support the Research, Innovation and Enterprise (RIE) 2020 effort, the government will provide a top-up of S$1.5 billion to the National Research Fund this year, said Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat in Parliament on Thursday.
Of the commitment announced for the RIE 2020 plan, up to S$4 billion will be directed to industry-research collaboration.
"This represents a concerted shift towards innovation and enterprise, to capture the economic and social value of R&D," said Mr Heng.
