Past Webinars
Funding social change - how can grant-seekers and grant-makers collaborate to better serve our communities?
This event will follow the launch of our report, which draws on the responses of 248 charities to our Trust Fundraising Scorecard, 53 conversations with fundraisers / charity leaders to discuss their results and 22 conversations with grant-seekers and grant-makers to discuss the questions in our report, which will be available at the start of July.
We invite you to explore the report with us by joining our online event to explore the following questions:
- How can we collaborate (grant-seekers and grant-makers) to better serve our communities with a more effective and efficient system for funding and delivering social change?
- Can we envision a radical alternative to the current system, as opposed to making incremental improvements?

Fundraising in small charities

'Lego approach' to trust fundraising

Developing your fundraising strategy
As part of Small Charity Week 2020, this free webinar introduced small charities to each step of our process to develop a fundraising strategy.
