• Time : 1000 – 1200 UTC

Title: Fundraising from grant-making Trusts and Foundations

Synopsis: This session will look at some of the key ‘ingredients’ of successful grants fundraising, from research to relationship-building, and from strategy to story-telling. This type of fundraising is hugely competitive, and usually happens at arm’s-length from the potential donor, but the return on investment can be significant. Our session will highlight some of the opportunities to get the process right, and some ways to avoid getting it wrong! You are invited to join one of three follow-up Q&A forums to discuss your own experience and have your questions answered.
