Crash Course in Fundraising, with Art with Heart

‍Sarah is Art with Heart’s lead fundraiser and has been arts fundraising for over a decade. She has raised significant funds via the different avenues she will be covering in this workshop. This workshop will cover:
‍

• Trusts and Foundations
• Building your own crib sheet
• Arts Council Project Grants
• Crowdfunding

This workshop will be an overview of these four ways of funding with practical skills that you can immediately apply.

“Art with Heart made the world and language of writing a good bid more personable. After the session I felt a lot more confident and acquired new knowledge and skills to help me going into the future” - Parvez Qadir, workshop attendee

Who is it for?

‍Whether you're a producer, artist or project manager, this workshop is ideal for people who need to fundraise and want to hone their skills before starting!

It is for people who have a creative project in mind and want support in raising the money to make it happen. Whether you’re a newcomer or have had a successful project in the past, it’s a good time to learn new skills, and polish the ones you have.

‍

‍

How will it run?

‍Sarah is an open, honest facilitator who will give you practical tips, help build your confidence and use the time as effectively as possible.

“Sarah was really lovely and welcoming! I got a chance to ask loads of questions I’ve felt previously too stupid to ask, with no judgement whatsoever.” - Emily Brown, workshop attendee

About Art with Heart

‍We’re shaping change through people-led creative projects. An award-winning Salford based arts company, we design and deliver performances, workshops and people-led creative projects for community groups, arts organisations and schools across the UK. We believe that when people come together through theatre and art, they have the power to make change – and that it’s our responsibility to create accessible, representative spaces where they can give it a try. That change can take place where it’s needed: in theatres, classrooms, community centres, libraries, on trams – and even in caravans – using whatever artform fits best: plays, podcasts, workshops, films and exhibitions. We’re changemakers and celebrators, working with people on their terms to collaborate, create and make tangible social action, together.
