This is a new course will be delivered for Chief Executives, Artistic Directors and senior leaders who haven’t been deeply involved in fundraising previously. With ever increasing demands on funders from the arts and the wider charity sector, this course is perfect for those wanting to find out how your organisation could gain the competitive edge.

This course will be delivered virtually via zoom over two sessions. The first of these will take place on Thursday 23 November from 10.00 am to 12.30pm and the second will take place on Thursday 30th November from 10am to 12.30pm. It is necessary to attend both sessions to complete the full training.

• How to get a project ‘fundraising ready’
• Sources of funding
• Resources required to gain funds
•  How to prioritise projects
• The basics of governance and fundraising (such as CC20)
• How to get trustees more involved in fundraising

Led by experienced fundraiser and National Portfolio Chief Executive, Sarah Gee, this course aims to provide a supportive atmosphere, where no questions are off limits, and culminates in surgeries about topics most pressing to you.
