2-Day Practical Fundraising Workshop for NPO's

ABOUT

A Practical Fundraising Workshop

Have you ever attended a fundraising workshop, gone back to the office and wondered if you actually developed any new skills? Do you find yourself time and again, staring at your phone or computer feeling despondent?

WE HAVE!

We believe it is time for likeminded practitioners to share their experiences and build our skills together.

Convenor: Salesian Life Choices is a NPO that almost shut down due to a lack of funds – since re-evaluating their strategy 4 years ago they have gone from strength to strength – securing annual budgets of ZAR 16 Million+.

“Let’s build skills together!”
