Our training

Organisational Training

We offer a range of bespoke training including in house fundraising training for fundraisers, senior teams and boards, across a range of topics, please email hannah@theartsfundraisers.com for more details.

Artist Support

We run regular training sessions to support artists writing their own applications. Our team have incredible success rates. For example, our team’s arts council current success rates are six times higher than the Arts Council’s overall success rates, which means that when our team write bids, your chances of success dramatically improve.

We however we appreciate that not all artists can afford to work with us, and our own capacity to offer support in these circumstances is limited. We have therefore designed the following affordable program to support artists who are writing their own bids but need additional support to increase their chances of success.

ACE Project Grant Training

This 2-hour session will talk you through how to complete an arts council project grant application, in detail. You will receive 90mins of practical advice and tuition from our top team and there will also be a Q&A to answer any questions you may have. The session notes and presentation will be provided after the event so you can return to this should you need to, whilst writing your application.

Pro Bono Pre-application advice

If you have an idea you want to bring to life as an individual artist we are happy to talk it through with you and give you our advice before you start fundraising. It is helpful to think about who you want to fund your idea early on and what conditions, if any, would be attached to that funding. 

We offer all artists a 30 minute pro bono consultation with one of our senior fundraisers to help you understand your fundraising choices and think through the implications of each.

To book a pro bono advice session contact hannah@theartsfundraisers.com to arrange a convenient date and time.
