Prospecting and Research: How do you find the right funders for you?
Session 1 of 7 of our fundraising series, learn how you can do great research about trusts, foundations and grants. FREE
How can you do great research about Trusts, Foundations and Grants before you make an application? Where do you look for information and vitally – what is that information telling you? We will explore a range of free and paid resources and how to make the most of them. You will also leave the session knowing how to use the Charity Commission website for your Trust fundraising research.
Who should attend
Sessions are aimed at smaller organisations who might have limited capacity for fundraising. You might be the only person responsible for fundraising or you might not have much fundraising experience.
