Masterclass on Fundraising and Financial Sustainability: 5 October 2022
In October, we hosted the first of our Masterclass Series. The session was on fundraising and financial sustainability and led by Shelagh Gastrow. Together with over 35 Alumni, current Fellows, and others from their organisations, we explored the concepts of sustainability and resilience, using your voice and message to attract resources to your organisation, understanding the donor world and key aspects of fundraising practice.
Masterclass on Communications for NGOs: 15 March 2023
The second in the series, this Masterclass was centred around communications for NGOs and was led by SureFire Communications, who have assisted the Fellowship in developing its own communications strategy. The session explored the importance of strategic communications for NGOs and how it dovetails with programmatic activities – as well as fundraising, resource mobilisation and raising awareness. Aimed at being more interactive than the first, the session took the form of a workshop through which Alumni were guided in starting to create a practical and achievable communications strategy for their organisations and walked away with tools to plan what content they can create as an organisation, and how to measure its impact
