Very quick fundraising tips

We were very grateful to Liz Baghurst from Seafox Consultants, who was kind enough to deliver our “Community Fundraising Services” training session in the morning prior to our AGM (on 7th November).

We put some of her quick tips in the November newsletter, but I’ve repeated them here.  Every group is always interested in fundraising, and the attendees on the day benefited greatly from the workshop.

In summary here are a few of her top tips for success when submitting grant applications:
•  Have a good, concise, well articulated story which stands out from the crowd.
•  Plan ahead allowing for all the time required.
•  Address deliverability with realistic timescales, targets and costs.
•  Present a well researched plan – understanding the beneficiary needs.
•  Explain how the benefits of your project are going to be shared beyond your client group or organisation.
•  Provide all the information required and check thatall boxed have been completed.
•  Choose the right fund in the first place!

If your group has questions about fundraising you can always contact Liz yourself, or contact VANEL and we’ll set you off in the right direction.
