CoDi Interact: Hitting the Mark — an introduction to fundraising and bid-writing

Tuesday 30 June AND Thursday 2 July, 1000-1300 (via Zoom)

 

Tŷ Cerdd is offering a 2-session, online training course for 15 composers/music-creators – led by experienced fundraiser Laura Drane.

 

You will learn about different sources of funding and learn elementary skills required for writing proposals. No prior knowledge required.

​

By the end of the two workshops you should be able to:

• research a range of funders to help you assess which, if any, are the best fit for you

• write a suitable introductory paragraph (or more) that frames your proposal

• identify how funders and assessors operate and the key processes commonly used by Lottery funders, private trusts and foundations etc

• analyse the diversity of your income-streams and identify the potential for additional funding from a range of sources and types (eg earned-income, crowdfunding, sponsorship)

• identify language and a writing-style that may be suitable for you

 

Laura Drane is an experienced bid-writer and fundraiser having brought in a range of funds for arts and cultural events and programmes over the last 20 years. Laura is a creative producer – of festivals, events, tours – and this session is rooted in her learned experience of regular fund-raising..
