Designing a fund-able project or service
It can be difficult to see what you do as a “project” or service that a funder might be interested in supporting. There are several ways in which you can package your services - here's how.
Course Content
A project (or a service that is delivered as a stand-alone offer) has the advantage that it can be looked at as separate from what you already do. It can have it's own budget, time-frame and activities. This means that you can apply to trust funders, invite donors and generally generate income for it.
The aims of this session are:
- To look at designing a bounderied piece of work
- Look at how this can be made attractive to funders
- Go through the organisational advantages of using this method.
By the end of the session you will
- Understand the useful ness of thinking about your work in this way
- know the steps for putting a strong proposition together
- Have a good grasp of how this affects your organisation's financial position.
This course include bonus materials. We also ask you to fill in a feedback form.
