LEADING THE FUNDRAISING CHARGE
Build A Robust Fundraising Plan For Your Charity
Join us at this seminar to enhance your professional development, acquire new skills, network with peers, and stay informed on the latest fundraising strategies, all aimed at supercharging your fundraising impact.
About the Course
We will focus on three key actions to ensure your organisation’s sustainability and success: restructuring to adapt to the changing landscape, fostering collaboration between board members and staff for crisis readiness, and enhancing your organization’s philanthropic culture and case for support, guided by the expertise of Usha Menon and Dr. Tan Bee Wan.
You will leave with a tailored fundraising plan to harness government schemes like Tote Board’s Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme, which is vital as you assist more beneficiaries during these challenging times. By the seminar’s end, you will have the skills to analyse donors, align fundraising strategies with organisational goals, leverage corporate donors, and develop a practical 3-year fundraising programme.
