Introduction to Arts Fundraising | Eurobodalla Shire

Do you want to learn more about private sector fundraising and opportunities to develop your skills and confidence?

Registrations for Creative Partnerships' Introduction to Arts Fundraising are now open. This session will benefit leaders and/or fundraisers within cultural organisations, individual artists and anyone in the cultural sector keen to learn the fundamentals of arts fundraising, located in the far south coast of NSW. Participants will also have the opportunity to connect with Christina Chiam, our State Manager for NSW & ACT.

This session will introduce the programs and services offered by Creative Partnerships, including our coaching and advice service that provides free tailored, one-on-one advice with our State Managers. It will also introduce the Australian Cultural Fund, our online fundraising platform, and cover fundamental elements of philanthropy and sponsorship; from writing an effective case for support, to the fundraising roles and responsibilities of the Board.

Christina will also be available for one-on-one meetings after the presentation. Register for a one-on-one meeting by sending an enquiry to christina@creativepartnerships.gov.au
