Drawing on their experience supporting climate, environmental, and social-impact initiatives, the speakers will guide participants through the key income streams — including trusts and foundations, corporates, and government bodies — outlining what each looks for in partners, the opportunities they offer, and the challenges to be aware of.
With more funders becoming invite-only, Kim Mitchell and Sally Bateson will also share tips on how to build visibility and networks that help funders find you.
Participants will leave with clear, actionable tools to strengthen their fundraising approach and to build more meaningful, long-term partnerships beyond traditional grant applications.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand the main income streams available to purpose-driven organisations — and their pros and cons.
- Identify the most suitable funding routes for your work.
- Learn practical strategies to improve fundraising outcomes, even with limited capacity or cash.
- Discover how to get noticed by invite-only funders.
What to bring:
Bring a short description of your organisation and your key funding challenge or opportunity — this will help you get the most from the session discussions.
By the end of this session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of the current fundraising landscape.
