Fundraising Training Ltd specialises in de-mystifying the skills of fundraising, especially where grantseeking is a significant part of your fundraising mix. We offer two options: training (through open events or bespoke training programmes) or consultancy (through mentoring and strategic reviews).
Training
The training methods are unique, engaging and sometimes unexpected; however they are all based on the sound fundraising knowledge and experience, of the trainer. Our training will not only equip you with the tools and knowledge to succeed within the field, but will also invigorate your attitude to your work.
“What we got was a sometimes off the wall but also inspirational approach to a fluid, changing and highly competitive world where standing out and being noticeable is as crucial as writing good prose and realistic costings.”
Steve Parkinson, participant on Porticus UK 2012 fundraising training programme

“Bill been a consistent source of wisdom for our Trust fundraising team. Two years ago he made a series of clear recommendations following a comprehensive review of our whole operation. He then helped us to grasp the skills to face these challenges and I’m delighted to say that we have brought in more new donors and raised more major gifts than we could have ever expected beforehand.”
Katie Cotton, Head of Major Giving Team, Sightsavers
