Funding Fundamentals - Session 1 of The Funding Series - Queenstown

As part of The Funding Series, ‘Funding Fundamentals’ is a 2.5 hour workshop facilitated by funding strategist Fi McPhee and Anna Mathieson of Revolutionise. Together they will provide a practical plan for identifying funding sources, the tools you need to pursue funding and grant fund raising, exploring four key areas; 

• Your Ambition, Your Why - why you need one and how to find it 
• Your impact and how to start measuring it
• The Ask/Offer - and how to be brave about putting yourself out there
• The Importance of Stories - the importance of storytelling and how stories move funders

This workshop is open to anyone who relies on funding or fundraising to support their organisation, club, event or project, regardless of sector. 

This is a FREE event.
