In February and March 2016 the Community Foundation ran Building Future Sustainability through its Partnerships Programme to help ‘mid-range’ organisations begin to prepare for what could be a very different kind of future.
The programme helps delegates add value to their bid writing skills to get to the front of the queue but also explores the potential of closer working with the corporate sector, the wider community and rich individuals. The programme focusses on partnerships, contracts, grants and trading as income generation options and how they might become part of the revenue mix for local groups. Such was the success of this multi strand income generating training programme that it will be repeated again this winter. You can hear how previous participants felt about the programme here.
The Community Foundation has worked with Mark Butcher Associates to create a programme designed to support greater sustainability for charities and community groups across the North East. And once again we have support from Esmée Fairbairn and Garfield Weston Foundations to allow significant price subsidies.
