Latest update
All of our courses have been converted to online learning experiences. We have been delighted to attract bookings from all over the world and our first set of 20 online workshops has been a great success.
Starting in September, we still plan to run in-person versions of the Skilled Grantseeker Programme, and the Bid Writing Boot Camp but we will review this decision on 20th August.
We are now committed to providing an extensive range of online workshops and this will become a permanent feature of our learning programmes. We have developed a model of 90 minute workshops, which are highly interactive, with participant numbers capped at 24. We are launching our new programme of 24 workshops from 10th August. This will be the largest range of online fundraising training in the UK. It enables you to gain access to precise, bite-sized learning without leaving your home or office. They are also very affordable, with on-demand learning costing £25 and interactive workshops costing £45. Every aspect of high value fundraising will be included, from researching donors, to building relationships and proposal writing.
You can find out more and book on these workshops by visiting our new online course details.
The first Brutal Facts event took place as a webinar from 3-4.30pm on 4th June. We are planning a follow-up event in late October, which will share our in-depth research into who gets the tranformational funding from our study group of 100 funders. This will shed a bright light onto the chances of getting lucky when trusts have more to give. Does the extra money go to the regulars or new beneficiaries?

Reshaping fundraising in Africa
In Africa, we have developed a deep understanding of how to thrive, when you are grant dependent, and to diversify your income streams beyond grants. We have transformed organisations, such as the Uganda Science Education Programme, through our Fit for Funding programme.
Using local expert Associates we have re-shaped every aspect of organisations, from governance to financial systems to communication strategies. Other clients have included LVCT Health in Kenya and the African Palliative Care Association. In collaboration with the Advocacy Accelerator, we are currently developing one of Africa’s first specialist blended learning programme in resource mobilisation. We have recently designed and completed a four day workshop for the Segal Family Foundation in Nairobi, Kenya
“From the few hundred dollars that I paid to attend the training, the results are amazing, a whopping 120 times in return - within less than 2 months. I sincerely thank you for the intensive but practical training. You relieved my pain, frustration and bad feelings as a result to the 18 failures in a row.”
Sam-Emenyu, Programs Manager, BIDS Foundation, Uganda.
Our newest project is a pilot programme to establish effective financial systems for five religious orders in Uganda.
