About this Event
Struggling with a current funding application, or just don’t know where to start? Applying for funding is time-consuming, daunting, potentially stressful, sometimes a bit lonely, and is usually a task that takes place in addition to your usual workload.
Choose from a selection of dates and times to suit you. Once you've registered, we'll pass on your details (name and email address) to Caz - please email [email protected] at this point if you would prefer to meet her online rather than in-person.
Caz’s sessions are for anyone from a charity (small or large) who is looking to raise funds from grants. You might be a fundraiser with some experience, or a first-timer new to writing funding applications.
In addition to writing a compelling application, funders also need organisations to show they have the systems and processes in place to manage a grant effectively. Caz is on hand to talk you through what funders want to see – from theory of change to policies and procedures.
No matter your level of experience or what stage you are at - the before (getting ready for funding), during (writing your application) and after (you’ve won funding, now what?) - Caz will demystify the funding process and offer some practical advice, to help you get the funding you need.
You might want to talk about:
- How to get started
- Finding the right funders for you
- Eligibility - is my application on the right track?
- Demonstrating impact
- What/how much to ask for
- Budgets
- Writing styles
- Story telling
- Pipeline planning
