Event details
The facilitators will explore with attendees how to meet capital challenges and secure those all important revenue funds.
The facilitators will also share ideas and inspiration that have helped local authorities in Paisley, Waltham Forest, Birmingham, Blackpool, Edinburgh and more to raise private funds from High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs), foundations, and corporates.
Both seminars will be intensive — offering attendees practical advice and insight into how to access the private funds available.
Discussion will also feature some of the challenges on and around ethics, accountability and charitable structures — including examples of what has worked and what has not worked.
More information about the seminars, including how to register, can be accessed via Cash for Culture Seminars.
