Company Solutions (UK) has developed a new one-day training course for organisations
that find themselves in a fundraising crisis.
Trainer Gareth Edwards created the
course because he was contacted so often by charities and organisations in the throes
of a funding or fundraising crisis.

The course includes an assessment of an organisation’s current fundraising, prepared
in advance; improving grant applications; developing a donor programme effectively
from scratch; contact mapping – who within your organisation knows useful contacts
and how to approach them; and exploring some of the possible ‘quick win’ options
such as events, trading and other activities.

The course concludes with a look at risk management techniques, diversification 
of funding streams and a session on building for the future.

The course costs £500 + expenses for up to 36 staff and/or volunteers.
