The next Leeds Funding Support Network Meeting will be held via zoom on Tuesday 16th April at 1.00pm – 2.15pm 

If you are involved in fundraising for your charity, community group or other not-for-profit organisation in Leeds, as a management committee member, volunteer or paid worker, then join us to learn more about funding and fundraising and share your group’s funding needs.

The network is particularly aimed at small groups new to fundraising or for group members/workers new to fundraising and/or who want to develop their fundraising knowledge and skills as well as more experienced fundraisers who will generously share their experiences.

At this meeting we will share updates on grant funding and discuss typical grant application form questions and how best to answer them, sharing our knowledge and experience of writing bids.  We will look at the Yorkshire Funders’ application form which draws on typical questions asked by most small funders in Yorkshire.  We will also have 2 speakers outlining Inspire and WYCA Community Grants.
