**The Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy programme is offering funding to support networks,
collaboration and group learning in fundraising across England in the arts and cultural
sector.**

The [AFP](http://artsfundraising.org.uk/) programme will support a maximum of ten
groups or networks to arrange their own fundraising training event, conference, 
seminar or introductory meeting. The funding is available to support some of the
associated costs that arise from organising these events, including participants’
travel costs, venue hire, catering, fees for speakers/guests, or any other relevant
expenditure.

The deadline for applications is 12 noon on **27^(th) March**, and an [application form can be downloaded](http://artsfundraising.org.uk/networks/supporting-networks/)
from the AFP site.

The AFP is also offering support for arts and cultural professionals at an early
to middle[ stage in their career](https://www.curriculosolutions.com/library/primary-programme-hub/primary-programme)
through its [Professional Fundraising Fellowship programme](http://artsfundraising.org.uk/arts-fundraising-fellowships/professional-fundraising-fellowships/).
Applications for this have an earlier deadline of 12 noon on **13^(th) March**.

The free programme aims to help arts and cultural professionals based in England
with at least three years’ relevant work experience to become confident, skilled,
entrepreneurial fundraisers, either as development specialists or as specialists
in other roles where fundraising is an important strand of their work.

Ten Fellows will begin their Fellowship year on the 1st June 2017 and will be able
to continue within their current full-time employment and undertake the Fellowship
as an exceptional Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunity, with the
support of their employer.

The learning programme includes participating in the [University of Leeds National Summer School in Arts Fundraising & Leadership](http://artsfundraising.org.uk/national-summer-school/)
in July 2017, and working towards achieving the University’s Postgraduate Certificate
in Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy.
