Become funder-ready: A practical approach to planning and funding for community organisations in Aotearoa

Is your approach to funding slapdash and last minute, or strategic and effective?

Would you like a framework leading to sustainable funding?

Come along to this funding strategy session where you can upskill and refresh your knowledge on best practice fund-seeking strategies, processes and examples, that will help increase your funding success and sustainability.

In this workshop we will cover:

• A simple framework to map out your funding request.
• Different funding options relevant to your organisation and how to prioritise these options.
• Funder expectations and accountability reporting

This is an entry level session ideal for Managers, Trustees and Fundraisers from grassroots and community based not for profit organisations.

NB: This webinar will draw material from Therese’s previous two sessions in her Future Proofed Funding and Funding Options for your Organisation training sessions that were delivered in previous years.
