**Small Black, Asian, multi-ethnic and refugee (BAMER) led charities and voluntary
organisations will have the opportunity to pitch to grant making organisations next
week for a cash prize, and to learn how to win more funding.**

Funder’s Den takes place on Friday 4 October, in London’s Living Room at City Hall,
with representatives from Comic Relief, Trust For London, City Bridge Trust, Tudor
Trust, BBC Children in Need, the National Lottery Community Fund, Arts Council England,
and the Heritage Lottery Fund, amongst others. They will also be joined by special
guest, former Paralympian and TV presenter, Ade Adepitan.

Organisations interested in pitching should register on [the Money4Youth site](https://www.money4youth.com/courses-events/),
and up to five groups will be selected to present their elevator pitches, after 
which funders will select a winner.
