This course was first delivered to the archive sector as part of the Fundraising for Archive programme, due to popular demand we are running it again for anyone that either didn't get a chance to attend last time or would like a refresher.
On this course you will learn what a funder wants to hear- and what they don't. We will look at the most effective language and structure to use, and spend the afternoon putting this into practice with your own project. For this module we have developed a fantastic resource pack, including case studies and language guides which you can take away and apply to your own bid writing.
Who should attend?
This course has been designed for anyone working within the archive sector, from front line leaders, to service leaders. This course is a must for anyone who is responsible for the funding development of the service. No prior knowledge of fundraising or bid writing is required prior to attending the course.
The course is funded by The National Archives for people working within the archive sector.
What will we cover?
The learning objectives of the course are that by the end of the event participants will:
· Know how to prepare effectively for writing a proposal so you are able to respond to opportunities quickly and efficiently
· Understand how to evaluate whether or not to apply for funds

This course is free at the point of access for members of the archive sector; it is funded by The National Archives as part of our Archives Unlocked delivery plan.
If you book a place and are unable to come please let us know as soon as possible, we often have waiting lists of people who would like to attend.
Similar courses are currently being delivered at a cost of £280 +VAT per person, thus if you book and don't attend resources are being wasted that a colleague in the sector could benefit from. Therefore, if you book a course and don't attend without letting us know you will be unable to book any further courses for the next 6 months with us.
