There are almost 9,000 charitable Trusts & Foundations in the UK. Last year alone they gave almost Ł3bn, including Ł273m of support to educational projects. Trusts & Foundations have a broad focus, covering not just education, but also, health, social care, arts, the environment and international work. This workshop will familiarise delegates with the major Trusts & Foundations, the activities they like to support and the levels of grant that they typically give. Through a combination of presentations, group discussions and exercises, delegates will leave with a better knowledge of the key funders and be better placed to prepare a successful application.For example any of the workshops above can be delivered at your organisation for 12 delegates at a cost of less than Ł140 + vat per delegate.
