Trusts & Foundations Fundraising Training

3SG and Lime Green Consulting are running a virtual one-day training course on trusts and foundations fundraising for local charities, social enterprises, faith and voluntary organisations operating in Bath and North East Somerset.

3SG has a licence for Funds Online, which is available to all 3SG Members for free by booking onto the rota here. This course will help you to understand how to use Funds Online to identify potential funders for your work, then build on this by preparing high-quality funding applications and developing strong relationships with funders.

Trusts and foundations make over £4 billion worth of grants annually and are an important source of income to charities and social enterprises. But due to cuts in other areas, competition for funding is greater than ever before, and funders are now under additional pressure due to the impact of coronavirus.

This course is for organisations and individuals looking for expertise and insights into how to tap into this valuable funding pot and stand out from the crowd. It’s designed for people who have some bid writing experience already but who:

• Would like to add more quality and strategy to their approach
• Want to take a step back and consider what isn’t working and how to change it
• Are struggling to repeat previous success in an increasingly competitive and urgent funding climate
• Would like to gain more insight into the mindset of funders

The course is based on a five-stage process developed by Lime Green Consulting to help organisations ensure that they have all the key components in place for trusts and foundations fundraising.

This course will be delivered online due to social distancing restrictions. We have divided it into two webinars taking place on the same day. We will be setting you some exercises to do independently between these two webinars. To get the most from the course, and capitalise on the opportunity to get individual feedback from the trainers, we recommend that you set aside this time to complete the exercises.

This one day online workshop is free for Full 3SG Members.

The cost for non members is £95 payable via Stripe. Contact James Carlin on 07816910572 to arrange payment.
