NETWORKING AND MAKING THE ASK Do you find the idea of developing relationships with donors and funders daunting and then, worse still, asking for money?

This introductory course with FRANCES TIPPER will help you make the right first impression, develop rapport with potential donors and funders, and feel comfortable about asking for money.

“ Made me feel very at ease in relation to a topic I generally find very intimidating.”

PRACTICAL DIGITAL FUNDRAISING How do you go about optimising your website, e-marketing and social media in order to raise funds? This one-day introductory course is full of practical advice and exercises in using digital tools to fundraise for an organisation on a tight budget. HOWARD LAKE will guide you through what digital fundraising tools are available to you, and how you choose the right ones for your organisation.

“ Practical and accessible ideas to improve digital fundraising for your organisation – a wide variety of approaches to take home.”

PLANNING A FUNDRAISING STRATEGY It is often difficult to sit back and get a bit of perspective on where you want to go with your fundraising. What is right for your organisation might not be right for another.

RUTH JARRATT will enable you to understand the different methods of fundraising, and will give you a step-by-step process to follow, and a framework you can adapt for your own organisation.

“ Excellent – engaging/interesting speaker with vast knowledge of fundraising” PREVIOUS COURSE PARTICIPANT

USING AND MANAGING DATA IN FUNDRAISING In an age when organisations are becoming swamped with data, how can you make best use of it to enhance and develop your fundraising? The Audience Agency’s LEO SHARROCK will demonstrate the importance of data, and will help you to understand the practical tools and skills required to harness its potential for fundraising.

“ Leo is great at making a potentially dry topic interesting and fun!”

WRITING STRONG FUNDRAISING APPLICATIONS Giving your application the best chance of success depends on rigorously matching your project to the funder’s priorities and communicating the strengths of the project powerfully and succinctly. RUTH JARRATT will take you through the application process, giving you a set of practical steps to follow in developing a bid, and tips regarding the do’s and don’ts of strong application writing.

“ Fantastic speaker, well pitched, lots of room for questions.”

TRUSTEE LEADERSHIP IN ARTS FUNDRAISING & PHILANTHROPY Trustees are an organisation’s chief ambassadors, supporting the executive team and helping to connect them with a wide range of external networks. This half-day course led by MATTHEW BOWCOCK offers practical guidance and tips on how to utilise fundraising and philanthropy as important tools within your organisation’s fundraising and income generation strategy.

“ A brilliant opportunity for our Funding Manager & Chair of Trustees to learn together."
