Sustainable Funding: Make it happen

A particularly timely course from Sustainable Funding Project at NCVO, helping delegates to turn sustainable funding ideas into action.

Location: NCVO, London (nearest tube - Kings Cross)

Who should attend: This is a intermediate level course aimed at individuals from voluntary and community organisations who have an understanding of the principles of Sustainable Funding but are finding it difficult to create a practical strategy that can be quickly put into action.

About the course:

During the day you will learn how to build a strong and practical sustainable income strategy, understand why this requires more than just fundraising and learn how you can involve and win over other members of your organisation.

The event uses presentations and interactive exercises to compare income streams, apply the discipline of marketing to fundraising, examine what systems and processes you may need and consider how you can anticipate and manage risk.

You will leave the day with an action plan for:

• Developing a sustainable income approach aligned with your mission and vision
• Understanding the external environment and future-proofing your ideas
• Identifying organisational strengths and addressing weaknesses
• Finding and making best use of resources, people and skills
• Setting achievable targets for your plan and overcoming barriers to making them a reality.

Make It Happen is grounded in the Sustainable Funding approach and uses real-life examples from across the breadth of the voluntary sector. We will also use tools and techniques developed with CASS business school and charity marketing expert Ian Bruce.

The day will be delivered by Olof Williamson and Ros Jenkins from the Sustainable Funding Project.
