2 free training courses for London based women’s organisation – WRC – 2nd and 17th November 2009
Training – Developing income from individual donors
Date: Monday 2 November
Time: 9:30am – 4pm
Who is it for?
Organisations that are new to the idea of individual donors and want to learn more about how to develop such an income source.
What’s it about?
Income from individual donors can be a very flexible income stream and makes up a large percentage of funding to the Voluntary and Community sector, yet women’s organisations rarely explore this avenue of funding. This course will offer an introduction to the steps to developing income from individual donors. These steps include identifying and researching those most likely to support you and how to go about engaging donors.
What will I take away?
· A practical tool to explore your organisation’s networks
· A systematic guide to developing individual donors
· Templates and resources to get you started
This training is free and open to all women’s organisations in London.
