Overview

With increasing funding cuts and more pressure to deliver their work many charitable organisations are looking for alternative sources of funding. Grant Making Trusts can be the answer but organisations can be put off exploring Trusts because they feel it will be too complicated.

A whole day training session ideal to deliver to community groups, project coordinators or branch managers; it covers the basics of applying to Charitable Trusts and includes some practical activities to give participants the skills they need to apply. Can be split to run over two half days


Objective

By the end of the session participants will:

- have an understanding of what Grant Making Trusts and Foundations are
- have reflected on the similarities, differences & diversity of Trusts & Foundations
- have explored how to research Trusts & Foundations
- have an awareness of Trusts’ and Foundations’ guidelines
- have identified how to match projects to funders priorities and criteria
- have information on how to structure a funding application
- have considered how to develop and maintain good relationships with a Trust funder
- have discussed an exit strategy for when the funding ends
