Fundraising resources for your hub
We understand the increasing financial challenges faced by network members. To support your fundraising efforts, in this article we've compiled various resources that may be helpful.
From paying for core services to payroll and printing, costs are rising and the need for many organisations to raise funds is becoming even more vital.
A recent report from UK Fundraising showed that 1 in 5 charities have had to cut back services due to finance & workforce pressures.
But where to source additional funds?
Fundraising covers many activities - raising donations, applying for grants and more. It can be overwhelming to work out the best way to maximise your chances of receiving funding and achieving financial stability.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ve created and collected resources to make this process easier and support your journey to fundraising success.
