The nature of fundraising and the climate in which we fundraise has developed radically over the last few years. In order for an organisation to successfully generate income in today’s competitive environment, it is important to have a good understanding of fundraising.  This course will help you to identify different stages involved in fundraising, and introduce you to the various types of funders and fundraising styles. It will also help you to start exploring the type of funding that best suits your organisation.

 What is it about?

Understanding our prospective funder and their specific objectives at the early stages is a key factor in taking the funding proposal to the next level and leading to a successful application and relationship with the funder.
