Dance UK’s Agile Fundraising is a new programme designed to unmask techniques to attract individual donors and help you become more confident in raising funds. The programme is supported by Arts Council England’s Catalyst scheme and Cause4’s Arts Fundraising and Philanthropy and includes six training sessions over 10 months plus an extra, final session to pitch for up to £1,000 (Dragon’s Den-style) to a panel of wealthy donors. Each session includes input and advice from Fern Potter, Head of Development & Strategy for Dance UK, ADAD and Youth Dance England.
All of the sessions (apart from 'Presenting Yourself/ Making the Pitch') will be live-streamed so you can take part regardless of where you live. This is an incredible opportunity to hone your skills with a programme that has been designed by a dance professional for dance professionals.
Each session runs from 6pm to 9.30pm, timetabled as follows:
6:00-6:15 Arrival and registration
6:15-7:00 Session led by Fern Potter
7:00-8:30 Guest speaker
8:30-8:45 Tea and coffee break
8:45-9:30 Panel session including Q&A
