Fundraising
Every organisation or project needs funds, if only to pay for leaflets or postage, but generally larger sums are needed and therefore fundraising is an on-going activity. You may be funded by short- or long-term grants, through service level agreements or through contracts by selling products or services.
Fundraising is therefore always an issue for organisations and although it requires energy, creativity and often laborious paperwork – the results are worth it.
This section gives links to websites that advise on how to raise funds and successfully secure them for the future.
