Howard Lake | 29 November 2013 | News
The Institute of Fundraising is offering 100 bursaries for small charities to attend its upcoming one-day conferences.
Funded by the Office for Civil Society (OCS), the bursaries will let fundraisers from small charities attend events including Fundraising for Hospices and Fundraising from Raffles and Lotteries. More events will be announced soon.
Who can apply?
Applications are invited from registered charities or other not-for-profit bodies which have a voluntary income of less than £1 million per annum. Recipients of the bursaries will need to pay just £20 to attend the conferences.
The first deadline to apply is 29 November and the second 15 January 2014.
The OCS will also be funding other training bursaries across IoF Academy courses and courses delivered across England through IoF Regional Groups and NAVCA.
Paul Marvell, Director of Professional Development and Membership (IoF) said:
“Our experience of running the Help for Small Charities Programme over the past two and a half years has demonstrated the impact our training makes on the ability of small charities to build their fundraising capacity. Demand will undoubtedly exceed supply, so I encourage small charities to apply early to avoid disappointment.”
