Come along to the next Manchester Voluntary Sector Assembly on 9 May to find out about the current funding landscape, different sources of income (not just grants), how to ask people for money and some tips on working with corporates. Speakers will include Joe Saxton of nfpSynergy, who publish an excellent range of useful and topical free reports and briefings. The Big Lottery Fund will also give an update on the current changes to their funding programmes, which will take effect from April. You will also have the opportunity to attend two from a choice of four workshops on crowdfunding, working with the private sector, asking for money, and increasing donations and sources of income. The workshops will be run by Macc, Institute of Fundraising and nfpSynergy.
Register your interest to attend now and we’ll show you the money!
