Bring in the money your organisation needs to thrive
Fundraising Training
Intimidated by funding bids?
Let me show you how to start.
So many charities do incredible work on a shoestring. You know there’s more money out there, if only you could access it. Whether you’re a charity or not-for-profit with a fundraising department, or without one, I can teach you how to make word-counts work for you, how to banish the fear of the blank page, how to tell your story, how to communicate your impact and the ethics of talking about the people you’re there to help.
“Before your training, I sat looking at two funding bids, knowing we had a good chance of succeeding, but having no idea what to say. The word counts made me stressed. The different questions seemed to want the same thing over and over again. Every time I started it felt wrong and I deleted everything I wrote. The day after your training I knew exactly what to do. Thank you.”
