Grant for older people to learn fundraising
Howard Lake | 16 September 2011 | News
Lloyds TSB Foundation for Northern Ireland is to fund a two-year programme to train older people in fundraising. It aims to help older people seek grants and other funding more effectively to help maintain local group activities.
First Steps to Funding will be delivered by Age NI and Community Foundation NI, and is targeted at age sector groups with an annual income of less than £20,000.
The programme also includes training for community workers who support age sector groups in fundraising.
The four strands of the training are:
• Preparing and planning for fundraising from small grants
• Making the approach: taking the fear out off funding
• Understanding the grant application
• Support worker’s training course
