Fundraising strategies and evaluation workshop

After a successful first session on creating a Business Plan, you can delve deeper into the topics of fundraising strategies and evaluation planning in February and March.

The two-hour online training sessions will give you an overview about methods and strategies, resources and plans, that will help you gain better understanding of fundraising and evaluation – and the tools to successfully start your own approaches.

These workshops are suitable for those just starting out in a cultural business with no prior experience of business or development planning, for those who already have some experience and are ready to be more ambitious, or those who want to update their existing knowledge. It is relevant for all charities, community and voluntary sector organisations and creative individuals.
