Development and fundraising enterprise Cause4 has received a £20,000 Fast Growth grant from Unltd to help develop its Entrepreneurship Programme.
Cause4 introduced its 12 month graduate programme in April 2012 to attract more graduates with entrepreneurial skills to fundraising in the community, arts, sports and education sectors. The programme identifies and trains graduates with entrepreneurial drive, as well as passion and commitment to the charity and social enterprise sectors. The programme's participants have already raised more than £4 million for charitable clients since the programme began.
Michelle Wright, CEO and co-founder of Cause4, said: "The Unltd funds will be spent on employing specialist senior support, as well as developing new course material and skills assessment tools, which will enable us to realise the full potential of this unique programme.”
