The Equality Network asked community leaders engaging with LGBTI people all over Scotland what support and training they needed. They told us that fundraising was a key issue. In these sessions, we will explore this topic in detail, including how to write an effective ‘case for support’, how to develop a fundraising strategy and action plan, and how to write funding applications.
These free sessions will be delivered as 2 three-hour workshops on two consecutive Saturdays: 3rd and 10th July from 2pm to 5pm. These workshops are a little more advanced than the Introduction to Fundraising sessions we are running in June.
By the end of these two sessions you will be able to:
- Write a strong case for support that can be used and adapted for approaches to a range of funders
- Understand the basic elements needed when writing applications
- Use a selection of tools to inform the development of a fundraising strategy and operational plan.
There will be a short homework assignment between the sessions that will be shared with other participants.
The course will be delivered and facilitated by Pam Judson, who has over 25 years’ experience supporting the third sector to raise funding. She delivers regular fundraising training for SCVO and other third sector umbrella organisations, as well as working with a range of equalities organisations across Scotland. Pam is also a grant assessor for a range of funders including Foundation Scotland, Impact Funding Partners and small grants for Comic Relief. She is the author of several guides on fundraising and how to apply for funds.
