In 1995 the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement completes 37 years of continuous evolution as a force that contributes to progressive non-violent social transformation in Sri Lanka. The Movement has survived eight governmental changes, two bloody youth insurrections (which were countered by equally horrendous suppressive actions) and a civil war that has been going on for over 12 years. Furthermore, the Movement was singled out between 1989 and 1993 by the late President Premadasa for an unprecedented attack on all fronts. The Movement had only just commenced rehabihtating itself in mid 1993 when an unexpected development took place from the side of Sarvodaya's main donor organization, NOVIB of the Netherlands. With little warning they cut 42 per cent from their planned grant for 1994-95 and plunged Sarvodaya into a financial crisis. This crisis has prompted Sarvodaya to re-think its relationship with donors. This paper is about possible future directions open to Sarvodaya. Sarvodaya has been repeatedly subjected to donor evaluations: in this paper we evaluate our relationship with our donors.
