We examine each of the different areas of fundraising – public donors, major donors, legacies, trusts and corporates. We explain how the different areas fit together and support each other to create a balanced fundraising effort. We look at how much investment each area of fundraising requires, what returns to expect and how long it is likely to take to achieve those returns. We examine what the rest of your organisation could be doing to help make your fundraising more successful.

We look at all the various sources of information, compare the pros and cons and examine the costs involved in accessing each of them. We look at how to identify whether or not to apply to a particular trust. We examine how to prepare a target list of trusts to apply to. We look at how to realistically assess your likely chances of success. We explore how best to store and utilise the details you research about each trust. ONLINE VIA ZOOM 10.00 TO 12.30 COST £95 CLICK ON DATE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE FRI 09 JUL 2021 Donor Databases The workshop is about creating and using databases to record information about your public donors, major donors, corporate donors, legacy pledgers, trusts and foundations. We compare the online and offline options available from zero cost and low cost through to the ones costing tens of thousands of pounds per year. In addition to the outright cost we also examine the cost of lost productivity if you use systems too limited for your needs or alternatively systems that are too elaborate for the tasks you are carrying out. In addition to assessing standardised off the shelf systems we also look at how to create your own bespoke database using the new low cost, user friendly database creation tools.

We look at GDPR, PECR and the other regulations governing fundraising activities. We look at how to prepare a check list of points you need to ensure that your organisation follows. We look at how best to explain the regulations throughout your organisation and ensure that they are followed by staff, trustees, volunteers and supporters.

My knowledge and confidence has increased hugely. I got a lot from your course and a lot of pointers! I can say after years of fundraising I learnt so much from your bid writing course. It was a very informative day and for someone who has not written bids before I am definitely more confident to get involved with them. I found the workshops very helpful. It is a whole new area for me but the information you imparted has given me a lot of confidence with the direction I need to take and for that I am very grateful. I found the day very informative and it gave me confidence to take on this aspect of work that I had been apprehensive of. I enjoyed the session and found it valuable. So much relevant, practical information all passed on in a way which I was able to follow. All greatly enhanced by your sense of humour. It was a useful course and your examples real or otherwise helped to make it practical. Many thanks. The morning just flew by - always a good sign! I enjoyed the course and learnt a lot. I will begin putting this into practice. Unsubscribe Alternatively send a blank e-mail to unsubscribe239...@nfpmail1.co.uk quoting haproxy@formilux.org in the subject line.
