An Introduction to

Good Fundraising

Do you struggle writing successful funding bids?

This session will take you through the key steps in preparing a strong funding application that will tell funders exactly what they need to know.

Funders are increasingly asking for online applications with a limited number of words. This resource will help you make every word count. It will also provide you with a project outline that you can use to cut and paste into online applications so you won’t need to start from scratch with each application.
