Real Circumstance Fundraising Lab

Day-long Fundraising Clinic featuring talks, practical sessions, and group tutoring.

Real Circumstance Labs enable artists to take control of their creative career within an encouraging and informal environment. The Labs are suitable for both individual artists and theatre companies.

The Fundraising Lab will take a comprehensive approach to developing your fundraising skills, covering:

- How to present yourself and your artistic identity: identifying your Unique Selling Points and your project aims.
- Fundraising Strategies: what avenues are available for your professional development and your creative projects.
- Approaching funders and partners: how to write strong, tailored funding applications.
- Budgeting: how to write a thorough, realistic and appropriate budget.

The Lab will be delivered by Anna Bewick, Creative Producer of Real Circumstance and an Arts Consultant. For Real Circumstance, she has built up a proven fundraising track record, consistently raising funds from Arts Council England, charitable foundations, local and regional councils, co-producers, and private donors; as well as raising funds for clients through her Arts Consultancy.
