Fundraising bootcamp: secure grants and funding for social enterprises

Securing grant funding as a purpose-driven SME can feel completely overwhelming.

The fundraising bootcamp is a 12-week intensive programme designed to help you build a viable, sustainable fundraising strategy.

Eligibility requirements

No eligibility but best suited for organisations who are looking to increase income from grants i.e. social enterprises/CICs/non-profits, and that your bootcamp team involves people with the authority to make decisions – mid-to-senior leaders (CEOs, development directors, heads of fundraising or fundraising managers who work closely with decision-makers).

However, you don't have to do it alone – you can bring up to three team members.
