The Foundation for Social Improvement (the FSI) has been awarded a grant worth £199,580 to
run a two year training programme, helping small, local charities
and community groups develop their fundraising skills.
The programme run by the FSI in partnership with LocalGiving,
the Small Charities
Coalition and Charity Finance Group, will
provide over 5,000 fundraising training opportunities. It will
include face-to-face events across the country, webinars and
online learning resources, one-to-one advice and consultancy
appointments, fundraising campaign planning support, and
intensive mentoring matches. Training will be subsidised, helping
organisations to take part who may not normally have the
resources to attend.
The training will be for small, local charities and community
groups with an annual income of up to £1 million, which have a
local focus within England.
Minister for Civil Society, said:
Small, local charities and community groups provide essential
support for local people and are the backbone of our
communities helping to build a fairer society that benefits
everyone, not just the privileged few.
I want to help them be more resilient and sustainable, and this
training programme will give them valuable skills so they can
continue their vital work helping to support people up and down
the country.
Details of the training events will be added to the FSI’s website
as they become available, with online resources for those who
might not be able to attend the training. You can also follow
the FSI on
Twitter for latest news and information about the
training.
