Case For Support Masterclass – Thursday 18th January, 11am-12pm
As demands on Fundraisers increase, we need our fundraising tools and processes to be as effective, efficient, and simple as possible. We regularly hear that having a comprehensive Case for Support is important. This is a key document that acts as your ‘bible’ supporting all your fundraising applications and communications. However, it’s not always clear what goes into making one and how we should be using them. This Masterclass will demystify why having a case for support is important, how to put one together, and how you can confidently put it into practice across different areas of fundraising.
Storytelling for Fundraising Course - Tuesday 23rd January & Tuesday 30th January 2024, 9:30am – 11:30am
This course is designed to support fundraisers to improve their confidence and success through effective use of storytelling. Telling stories is a powerful tool that is too often overlooked. Stories are used to engage, inform, persuade, and create connections between people. As a fundraiser, storytelling is a valuable skill that can be used to influence your potential supporters and maximise on your fundraising efforts. Storytelling skills bring to life your fundraising activities across the communications of your organisation. In this course, you will develop a key skill that will benefit the success of grant fundraising, corporate partnerships, crowdfunding, major donors, legacies, and many more!

More and more of us are looking to use AI to benefit our fundraising, save time and make our fundraising processes easier. By popular demand, we are continuing our series of AI Masterclasses! In our first AI for Fundraisers Masterclass (available on-demand for those who missed it!) we looked at ChatGPT and Google Bard as two AI tools, but there are many other AI tools fundraisers can use to make their donor communications more efficient and effective. Join us to discover the 5 AI tools every fundraiser should know about, helping demystify AI in fundraising, build your confidence, and learn to use a range of AI tools to maximise your fundraising success!
Corporate Fundraising Course - Tuesday 6th February & Tuesday 13th February 2024, 9:30am – 11:30am

In doing so, you have the potential to increase your organisation’s financial sustainability, aiding you in meeting your organisation’s objectives.
Developing Your Individual Giving – Thursday 8th February & Thursday 15th February 2024, 2pm – 4pm.
Our Developing Your Individual Giving Course will give you practical solutions and ideas for growing your charity’s income through support from individual donors. By developing an individual giving offer, organisations can diversify their income, strengthening resilience and sustainability (which is needed now more than ever). Many organisations have communities of people that are enthusiastic about their work and willing to give their support. However, often organisations aren’t making the most of these opportunities as they lack the confidence and knowledge to progress this.
