The Art of Writing Strong Applications for Funding

This course aims to dispel the mystique of writing strong applications for funding – whether grants from trusts/foundations or statutory bids.

With practical exercises to improve your writing skills, the course ensures that anyone can produce a strong fundraising application provided that they follow some simple rules, undertake thorough research and are tenacious.

You will be asked to use an actual project as a basis for some of the practical exercises during the day.

By the end of the day, you will have:
- Greater confidence in your writing skills
- The tools for ideas generation and building a case for support
- Greater success in responding to the criteria required by charitable trusts and foundations
- An understanding of a range of research techniques
- Greater knowledge and confidence in budgeting
