About the Event
Have you ever felt that excitement when you come across a funder that seems like a great fit, only to be stopped in your tracks by those three deflating words: “no unsolicited applications”?
What should you do in this situation: Consign them to the scrap heap? Take a punt and apply anyway? Find a different way of engaging them?
Knowing how to approach this type of funder is becoming an increasingly important skill. With more funders going down the invitation-only route to manage increasingly high demand, and fundraisers often feeling like they have exhausted all their funding avenues.
This MASTERCLASS will equip you with both shorter-term approaches and longer-term tactics to unlock the potential of invitation-only funders. Our Trainer Mike Zywina will explain how to build relationships with invitation-only funders, even if you’re not a well-known charity with well-connected trustees or a big address book of contacts.
