Why is major donor fundraising so important to churches?

  • Income from trusts & foundations continues to become more competitive with more organisations applying for fewer funds
  • Churches will often need to diversify away from trusts & foundations to reach campaign targets
  • Major donors are often a great way of leveraging further funds from other income sources

What will you learn?

From decades of church-related major fundraising capital appeal experience, you will

  • Learn how to identify major donors already within your networks
  • Learn how to find new major donors and know how best to approach these
  • Gain the confidence in how to 'present the ask' and 'close the ask'

Who should attend?

  • Fundraising appeal leads within churches
  • Senior church leadership
  • Churchwardens
