Workshop Format
Workshops consist of talk, questions and
answers. There are no power points, audio
visuals, break out sessions,
role playing exercises or group activities.
Participants are not expected to introduce
themselves. Workshops run better if participants
are on video but it is not compulsory. Each
workshop follows a script. By using scripts more
topics can be covered in less time with complete
accuracy. Participants are sent a copy of the
script by email after the workshop. The trainer
may add unscripted remarks during the workshop
to liven things up. Workshops do not require
prior knowledge. Everything is explained in everyday language. Jargon and acronyms
are kept to a minimum.
Questions
We do not
offer in house courses, courses on other topics,
bid writing services or consultancy services. If you have a question please
email
question2@nfpmail1.co.uk If

Bid Writing
Do
you know the most common reasons for rejection? Are you
gathering the right evidence? Are you making the right arguments? Are you using the right terminology? Are your numbers right?
Are you learning from rejections? Are
you assembling the right documents? Do you know how to create a
clear and concise standard funding bid?
Are you communicating
with people or just excluding them? Do you know your own
organisation well enough? Are you thinking through your projects
carefully enough? Do
you know enough about your competitors? Are you answering the questions funders will ask themselves about
your application? Are you submitting applications correctly? |

Introduction to
Fundraising
The workshop is for people who wish to
move into fundraising, have just started in fundraising or have
responsibilities for fundraisers.
We examine each of the different areas
of fundraising - public donors, major donors, legacies, trusts and
corporates. We explain how the different areas fit together and
support each other to create a balanced fundraising effort.
We look at how much investment each area of fundraising requires, what
returns to expect and how long it is likely to take to achieve those
returns. We examine what the rest of your organisation could be doing
to help make your fundraising more successful.

Fundraising
Regulations and GDPR
The
workshop looks at who the regulatory bodies for fundraising are and
what they regulate. We examine GDPR, PECR and the other regulations
governing fundraising activities.
We
describe each of the most important procedures to follow. Past
enforcement actions and the penalties issued to organisations that
broke the rules are described. We explain how to prepare a check list
of points you need to ensure that your organisation follows.
We
look at how best to explain the regulations throughout your
organisation and ensure that they are followed by staff, trustees,
volunteers and supporters.

Trust Fundraising
Are you applying to the right trusts? Are you applying to enough
trusts? Are you asking for the right amount of money? Are you
applying in the right ways? Are your projects the most fundable
projects?
Are you carrying out trust fundraising in a professional way?
Are you delegating enough work? Are you highly productive or
just very busy? Are you looking for trusts in all the right
places?
How do you compare with your competitors for funding? Is the
rest of your fundraising hampering your bids to trusts? Do you
understand what trusts are ideally looking for? |
