Fundraising – What Trustees need to know
Tuesday 17 March, 12 to 1.30pm
Online
Members £10/ Non-members £30
Trustees are increasingly required to play an active role in ensuring that their charity’s fundraising activities are conducted appropriately, ethically, and in line with available guidance. But more than just ‘ticking the boxes’ – trustees have a duty to understand their charity’s income mix and how it will sustain their provision beyond this financial year.
This session will provide participants with the knowledge and tools to enable their organisation to fundraise effectively and sustainably, and to take an active role in doing so.
This workshop is aimed primarily at trustees; however, it may be suitable for senior leaders in charitable organisations.
At the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
- Understand the key duties and responsibilities of charities and their trustees with regard to fundraising
- Know what to consider to ensure fundraising is legal and ethical
- Be able to describe what a healthy funding mix looks like, and what steps to take to achieve one
- Understand how trustees can support fundraising – particularly in times of economic challenge.
Feedback from past delivery
I now feel informed clearly to go back to my board of trustee peers, and communicate to them the essential role they play in fundraising, not just governance and agreeing to the fundraising policy and plan.
