Each year at the Funding Conference delegates from across Wales gather to examine the myriad of funding strategies available to the sector, from grants and trusts to online trading and community fundraising.

The third sector is continually asked to do more and more, but we’re asked to do this with less and less funding – and there’s a lot of competition for the money that is available.
That’s where the Wales third sector funding conference comes in. We’ll be looking at how we can help your group make a better ask for funding, whether you’re raising funds from trusts, businesses, Big Lottery Fund, Europe or are simply trying to find a way to increase donations from your supporters.
We’ll be hearing from Michael Norton OBE, a ‘serial social entrepreneur’ on innovations in fundraising, Paul Streets of the Lloyds Bank Foundation will examine the challenges faced by the groups they fund and Simi Epstein of Hope House Children’s Hospice will show how they refocused their fundraising efforts to ‘make a better’ ask.
And there’s a selection of 22 workshops covering:

– Digital fundraising
– Making a better ask to Big Lottery Fund
– Crowdfunding
– Asking businesses for support
– Joint working
– Measuring and communicating impact

And much more besides.
 
If you’re not confident when approaching potential funders, this is where you can learn to make your ask stand out.
