The Researchers in Fundraising (RiF) group is celebrating its 20th anniversary this
year by offering two bursaries for UK prospect researchers to attend the APRA Annual
Conference in the USA.

 

Two prospect researchers will each receive £1,500 towards the registration, travel
and accommodation costs of the conference, which takes place in Baltimore from 7
to 10 August.

[APRA](http://www.aprahome.org/) is the international organisation for fundraisers
who specialise in research and information management.

 

Bursaries are open to applicants from all organisations across the UK not-for-profit
sector, regardless of their organisation's cause. Applicants need not be a member
of the Institute of Fundraising or other bodies.

 

RiF used to offer bursaries to UK-based training courses and conferences but these
met with limited interest. So now, its volunteer Committee is focusing purely on
bursaries for the APRA conference. Until this year, only one bursary place had been
offered.

 

The deadline to apply is 16 April 2013 and a decision will be made by 22 April.
