An Introduction to Arts Fundraising Training Day
Featuring 3 guest speakers from the worlds of public and private funding
Newcastle - 3 May, London - 10 May, Birmingham - 7 June, Leeds - 21 June, Liverpool - 22 June, Bristol - 5 July
A one-day training course designed for those who would benefit from a comprehensive overview of the sources of funding available in the arts.

The Trainers & Speakers
This bespoke course brings together the expertise and experience of one of the UK's leading arts consultancies, the hub, with relevant guest speakers, who can provide an insight into the different areas of arts fundraising. Previous speakers at hub training days have included representatives from the world's most successful and widespread creative network, Arts & Business and the national agency for the arts, Arts Council England. From the commercial world the hub has booked representatives of Sony and O2 to give delegates the inside track on sponsorship and at our last training event we were joined by a representative from The PRS Foundation whose presentation was a real hit with delegates. The lead trainers are actively working as fundraisers today.

Why You?
With central government funding for the arts at a standstill until 2008, the pressure is on for arts fundraisers, programmers, curators, producers and promoters everywhere to be proactive about their fundraising targets and have a clear understanding of the fundraising options open to them. This course gives participants a practical overview of the variety of fundraising sources available and the opportunity to discover in which areas they are most likely to enjoy success.

Content
This is a practical, interactive course that aims to get people involved right from the outset in the experience of fundraising. The course covers an introduction to fundraising, fundraising strategies, sponsorship, trusts and foundations, public sector funding, European funding, individual giving, income generation, servicing partnerships and the role of Arts & Business.

Price & Details
The course is £250 + vat per head. This includes lunch, presentation materials and a follow-up manual. The maximum number of participants is 20 to ensure a high quality experience. Discounts are available for group bookings. Places are limited and allocated when interest forms are received. The course will run in the cities and dates specified above at a central location from 9.30am-5pm. Location and confirmation details will be sent out on receipt of interest forms.
