The Major Donor Special Interest Group (MDSIG) of the Institute of Fundraising is
offering six bursaries this year covering the National Fundraising Convention, training
and professional development, and prospect research training.

### Institute of Fundraising National Convention

The group is offering three bursaries to attend all three days of the Institute 
of Fundraising National Convention (4-6 July 2011). If your organisation is unable
to pay for your travel, you can also claim travel up to the value of £200. Two of
these are available only to MDSIG members and the third is for a fundraising from
a small charitable organisation with a turnover of under £5 million (or a turnover
of more than £5 million but voluntary income of under £1 million).

Winners will be expected to attend a small drinks reception hosted by MDSIG Committee
during the Convention. They will also be encouraged to blog/ tweet about their experiences
at the Convention.
