Fundraising: Successful Bid Writing Workshop
Online: –
This online course explores how to approach and draft successful funding applications for performing arts projects. It will cover why to fundraise, what makes your project unique, different types of funders, fundamental steps of solicitation, dealing with rejection, who to involve in the process, and how.
This course is for anyone who fundraises in an organisation or for their own projects. No previous experience is necessary, though it is helpful to have a current or forthcoming project in mind. You can apply the learning from the session to various situations and sizes of organisations, from small project-to-project companies to larger venues.
One week after the online course, you will have the chance to have a one-to-one, 15 minute online surgery with Ines to discuss a specific funder you want to approach using the tools provided during the course.
Suitable For:
- Fundraisers
- Freelancers
- Producers
- Anyone involved in writing bids
Very informative and comprehensive. One-to-one advice from the tutor was invaluable.
