Funding core costs: In principle and in practice

Asking funders for Core Costs is an eternal conundrum for fundraisers – funders often say they don’t fund these, but we know they’re essential for project development and management as well as the provision of day-to-day services.

In this workshop style webinar, we talk about the need for securing essential costs and some practical ways to breakdown the costs, and frame that for funders and for funding applications.

DSC Training Consultant George Knight brings his usual cheer to the topic, helping release the despair and frustration that comes with chasing core costs. So get set for a fast paced, information packed session.
