The Plus option guarantees you a full day onsite helping you implement the learning. More than that it comes at a 50% discount on our normal consultancy rate.

Nope you can come as an independent, as a consultant, as a Board member or volunteer. Or even just someone with a great idea.

The basic principles behind the programme can be applied anywhere — how to approach major donors, how to engage a corporate, how to write a powerful foundation proposal. We’re delighted to say we’ve had participants from Egypt, Costa Rica, Russia, France, Austria, Romania, Zimbabwe and Italy over the years.

The School doesn’t directly offer bursaries. You may, however, find that your local authority, one of the arts councils, a local foundation or even a local business might offer you support. Remember to mention the money-back guarantee — so their investment is safe.

The support of your organisation is essential. Not just financially but also to implement the ideas when you return. (You’ll be looking for them to make changes.) To help you we’ve prepared a free Convincer Pack that will offer you ideas on how to sell your attendance at the programme. You can download it here.

There are a lot of great short programmes out there. But no matter how good they are they don’t offer an integrated approach bringing together all the elements and tactics into an integrated strategy. The school is also led by a team of Europe’s best fundraisers, each with a real track record of success.

Every programme is updated, including content, workbook, and exercises. We want to make sure you have the latest and best insights. The school goes way beyond the standard business-as-usual practice. The world of fundraising has changed and the School has changed with it. We now incorporate insights from behavioural science, developments in digital, and help you access the massive growth in HNWI.
