It may also be very beneficial to charity trustees in the area of sustaining income to their organisation.

  • Define the key principles of fundraising
  • Identify key elements of a fundraising strategy
  • Identify a broad range of fundraising methods and techniques

The session includes training on making a pitch, understanding the donors' perspectives, the key elements of a fundraising strategy, fundraising from grant-makers (including voluntary, private and statutory sources), community fundraising (including personal, social/recreational and media techniques), trading goods and services, contracting and procurement, and investment fundraising.
