Trusts & Foundations Funding: Expert Advice from a Grant Assessor, Funder and The List Author

Details

Join us for a practical and insight-packed 90-minute webinar bringing together leading voices from across the fundraising and grant-making landscape.

Drawing on her unique experience as both a professional fundraiser and grant assessor, Vic Hancock-Fell will share 10 key lessons she has learned from sitting on both sides of the funding table—including common mistakes applicants make, what assessors look for in strong applications, and how charities can improve their chances of success.

Drawing on insights from The List, Jo Jeffery will share which causes have been most impacted by grant-making changes plus how The List helps fundraisers approach trust fundraising with more information and confidence.

Representing The Benefact Trust, Helen Gray will offer a funder’s perspective on current priorities, what makes an application stand out, and how organisations can build stronger relationships with grant-makers. As someone who has led a grant-making organisation and experienced both sides of the funding relationship, Helen offers a particularly nuanced and well-rounded perspective.

Whether you’re new to trust fundraising or an experienced practitioner looking to increase your success rate, this session will provide practical tips, insider knowledge and actionable advice you can apply immediately.

• Vic Hancock Fell – Helping Small Org Leaders Feel More Connected and Confident, Make More Impact, and Find More Joy in Their Work

• Helen Gray – Trust Director, Benefact Trust
