This year’s annual Fundraisers’ Training Convention, organised by the Institute 
of Fundraising Northern Ireland, will be held on Thursday 30 June 2005 at the Beechlawn
House Hotel, Dunmurry.
The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Funding the Future’.

Speakers from the voluntary, corporate and statutory sectors in Northern Ireland
and throughout the UK will cover topics such as ‘Core Funding Strategies’, ‘Organising
successful fundraising events’, ‘Peace III – what next?’, ‘What makes an Award Winning
Corporate Partnership?’, ‘Developing Major Donors’, ‘Researching Your Statutory 
Donors’, ‘Motivating Volunteers’ and ‘Planning for Sustainability – The Big Lottery
Fund’.

Jill Houston, Chair of the Convention, said: “This year the Institute has really
taken stock of the challenges facing the sector in relation to the uncertainty of
secure funding for core activities, the changes in the funding climate and the need
for diversifying funding sources and activities, and used them to shape the convention
programme.”
