Description

Course content:

For trustees and staff with some fundraising experience who are looking for funding for capital projects including buildings, vehicles and large items of equipment. We will discuss:

  • Making the case. Options appraisals and why they matter.
  • Options appraisal template – make a start on your plans.
  • Grant funders to consider, who funds what, how to apply and where to search for more options.
  • More than grants – repayable finance, social investment and community shares – what they are and where to start.
  • Examples – how did other organisations do it and what can you learn from their experiences?

This course is perfect for: people with some fundraising experience at an organisation that has been running activities for at least 12 months and is looking to raise money for buildings, vehicles or large items of equipment.

If you’re already a very experienced member of staff, why not recommend this course to a trustee or colleague with less experience to help improve fundraising knowledge across the organisation?

No fundraising experience at all? The Beginners’ Guide to fundraising course is a better option and will answer lots of your questions.

This course is not suitable for: New organisations that do not have a full year of activity and accounts yet. The Beginners’ Guide to Fundraising course is a better option, or join our Getting Started – DIY fundraising course. Getting Started courses are free for organisations with an income under £100,000.

Please note: this course is not accredited but a certificate of attendance will be given.
