Autumn 2011 Newsletter
Welcome
Welcome to the Autumn 2011 edition of our fundraising newsletter. We hope you all had a pleasant Summer and are now immersed back into the busy Autumn fundraising period.
There have been some fantastic new major funding schemes coming online recently but blink and you’ll miss them! We posted details on the £20M Social Action Fund and the £10M Big Lottery Fund Silver Dreams programme on our regular news items recently but if you didn’t spot those in time, then I’m afraid you’ve missed the boat. Still, there are many more opportunities out there and so we have focussed our Autumn newsletter on funding streams. We hope you’ll find one or two relevant to your Charity.
We have also spent some time over the summer analysing our success for clients, do take a look at our findings.
Best wishes from all the team at Charity Fundraising Ltd.
Fundraising Success – Internal Review
Over the summer, the team at Charity Fundraising Ltd have been busy evaluating our success in fundraising. These days, we offer a vast range of services of which Outsourced Fundraising is just one, but success matters and organisations want to know what they are likely to get in return for their investment in our services.
Education Endowment Foundation
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is an independent charity dedicated to raising the educational attainment of disadvantaged pupils in English primary and secondary schools.
