The Clare Foundation exists to support charities and we know very well the pressures which these challenging times are placing on organisations like yours and our sector colleagues.
With the changing landscape and ongoing increase in the use of digital technology and a shift in audience expectations and demands, it has never been more important to strengthen the relationships and develop new ones. Fundraisers and charity leaders must adapt and embrace innovative and creative approaches to delivering fundraising campaigns and connect with grant funders to understand their requirements as well as develop relationships.
Please do join us at The Clare Foundation and Partners – Grant Funding Conference 2021 to develop your network, increase knowledge and strengthen your grant funding programmes and relationships. This is our first grant funding conference but we hope that you’ll derive inspiration, innovation, and some excellent practical solutions to your fundraising challenges at this perplexing time.
We have a packed quality programme with the leading Buckinghamshire Grant Funding Charities and National Grant Giving Charities delivering on the day. With more details to be confirmed in the next few weeks; so please save the date and we look forward to welcoming you on April 28th 2021 – safely online.
