Capacity strengthening of our membership is one of our core purposes at TGEU. In response to members’ requests and feedback, we are happy to invite you to an in-person Fundraising training.
You want to deepen your understanding of organisational sustainability and wellbeing? You want to learn more about fundraising, and what to do to strengthen your organisation’s financial skills? Then, this training has been designed for you! Spots are limited, so make sure to apply on time.
The training will take place at the TGEU’s office in Berlin, Germany, from Friday 10 June to Sunday 12 June 2022. After two long years of online meetings, it is finally time for us to meet in person again!
What's in it for you?
With a cohort of 15 peers, you will dive into an ambitious programme:
- DAY 1 REFLECT on organisational sustainability: how to build strong foundations centering on individual and collective wellbeing?
- DAY 2 LEARN about fundraising strategies: how to build a smart fundraising strategy informed by your organisational needs?
- DAY 3 IMPLEMENT what you’ve learned on grant writing and fundraising: how to develop impactful projects and alternative funding methods?
You will receive a fundraising toolkit and a personal workbook to reflect on your learnings and next steps.
Beyond the series of training, TGEU’s Community Building team will provide support to your fundraising projects.
Deadline: Sunday 17 April 2022
