**Applications are currently open for Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy’s 2020 Fundraising
Fellowship Programme.**

[The programme](https://artsfundraising.org.uk/fellowships) helps to train fundraisers
for the arts and cultural sector, and to date it has supported 65 graduate Arts 
Fundraising Fellows, who are now all working in the charity, arts, and cultural 
sectors.

There are ten free places available, and [Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy](https://artsfundraising.org.uk/)
is looking to recruit from areas and communities in England that are under-represented
in fundraising and development roles. It also welcomes applications from people 
with disabilities, those with BAME heritage, and those from low-income families.
