Real Circumstance Fundraising Lab

Weekend-long Fundraising Lab featuring talks, practical sessions, and one-on-one tutoring.

“An invaluable and hugely enjoyable experience.” Participant

The Real Circumstance Fundraising Lab takes a comprehensive approach to developing your fundraising skills, within an encouraging and informal environment.

Tailored to your projects and requirements, whether you are an individual artist or a theatre company, the Lab covers:
>> Fundraising Strategies: the different types of funding avenues available for your professional development and your creative projects, and how to find and approach funders.
>> Project Planning & Budgeting: how to plan a detailed and accurate project timeline, and write a thorough, realistic and appropriate budget.
>> Proposal writing: practical sessions & one-on-one tutoring on how to write strong, tailored funding proposals to grant-making organisations, funding letters to individuals, and crowd-funding pitches.

“I cannot recommend this Lab more highly, if only everyone from a theatre company could do it. Concise, cheerful, professional, packed full of specific information on funding. Totally inspiring and helpful.” Participant

The Lab is delivered by Anna Bewick, Creative Producer of Real Circumstance and Arts Consultant. She has a proven fundraising track record, consistently raising funds from Arts Council England, charitable foundations, local and regional councils, co-producers, and private donors.
