The Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy programme wants to encourage and support networks, collaboration and group learning in fundraising across England in the arts and cultural sector. We know that there are lots of informal and formal groups & networks in place, linking people through geography or sector area. We also know that networks can be fragile, dependent on one or two individuals and subject to members having the time and money to attend meetings.
How we can help
We want to support groups or networks to arrange their own fundraising training event, conference, seminar or introductory meeting. To do this, we have set aside some funding to pay some of the associated costs that arise from organising these events. This may include participants’ travel costs, venue hire, catering, fees for speakers/guests, or any other relevant expenditure. We will pay costs up to a maximum of £1,500 net for any single event.
How to apply
Please submit your proposal to us with the following information:
- The name /nature of your network/group/cohort
- Group lead(s) and members (names, job roles, organisations). if the group consists of more than 20 people, please give the overall number of members and a general description of them
- Why your group/cohort would like to work together, or is working together
- The activity you would like to receive support for, and how this activity will strengthen fundraising skills across the group/cohort
- Who will deliver it, location, and date(s)
- How learning will be distributed throughout your group/cohort, and wider if applicable
- A draft budget, including all expenditure and income, including a breakdown of the costs you would like to be covered by Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy
- Why you would like us to cover the costs of the event, and how this support will help your existing group do something new, or help you establish a new network or group
- How you believe this event will help strengthen arts & cultural fundraising for your network or group
Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy is happy to support groups/cohorts through attending events and/or liaising on their behalf with our group of expert freelance fundraising trainers to undertake bespoke activity (subject to agreement of fees).
