Fundraising strategy
Every project should be thinking about the long term as well as the short term. Having a strategy will help your project clarify what you need the money for and how to go about getting it.
Resources
Some of the most helpful resources and signposts will be found by networking and making links in your local area.
There is plenty of help to look for funding. There are also other ways of getting funds such as membership schemes or tendering for public services.
Filling in the forms
Many funding applications fail, simply because the application submitted does not represent the intentions of the project well enough.
