Four steps for successful fundraising
-
1
The fundraising plan
A fundraising plan is key to establishing – both internally and externally – whether or not you can generate the income to deliver your proposed services.
-
2
Researching potential donors and funders
Identifying relevant donors and funders appropriate to your cause is key. Knowing where to start helps, but knowing where to go next – finding new funding sources – is essential for sustainable fundraising.

3
Successful grant applications and building a strong case for support
Grants can be a great source of fundraising income. A successful grant application has a persuasive pitch, watertight reasoning and crafts the perfect case for why someone should financially support your charity.
