Skilled Grantseeker Programme (online)

Welcome to the world’s most respected and in-depth high value training programme in grantseeking. For experienced fundraisers we offer a fresh and innovative approach. For new fundraisers we provide a comprehensive toolkit for a successful career in grantseeking. Since 2013, staff from over 300 organisations have attended this programme, including The British Museum, Christian Aid, Child Bereavement UK, Opera North and Leonard Cheshire. Previous programmes have spawned ongoing and long-term peer support networks.

The programme is divided into five self contained clusters:

  1. Understanding the Audited Accounts of a UK Foundation

  2. Writing for Impact

  3. The Bid Writing Boot Camp

  4. The Stewardship Toolkit

  5. Planning

Each cluster consists of four live online workshops for a deep dive into each topic. You can book on the whole programme (all twenty workshops) for £895; or pick individual clusters at £199 each. For the in-person programme, each cluster costs £400.

For dates and times of the Skilled Grantseeker programme go to our online store.

Why not enlist the help of a tutor who will help with your translation of the learning into practice? They will support you throughout the course, for both the live or the self-paced options. This will cost an additional £180. If you want to engage a mentor email us on: info@fundraisingtraining.co.uk

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the training this week. I am so fired up and enthusiastic ready to implement all of this learning. I did an application this week after the coloured hats session and could already see it was way more impactful, and I edited a blog post yesterday to make sure it was concise, active and engaging - thank you!

This is by far the best training course I've ever been on as a fundraiser.

These workshops have been magical. They showed me a different way of approaching my work and equipped me with lots of practical tips.
