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.

Outputs, outcomes and impact reporting
Defining the outputs, outcomes and the impact is essential to any fundraising strategy and vital to making clear funding applications. Our best practice guidance will help you to get your approach right – first time.
