Introduction to Fundraising

Course Information

Taking a strategic approach to fundraising will help ensure that your charity has a mixed income approach which focuses energy and resources to those fundraising areas that will bring maximum return, both in the short-term and long-term.  It will also help you to ensure that your fundraising efforts support your charity to fulfil its mission, vision and objectives rather than detract from the valuable work that you do.

This course looks at the different forms of income available to charities, and will help participants to identify those sources of funding that will have the greatest potential success for them.
