This course provides an introduction to developing a successful corporate fundraising programme.

This course will be delivered virtually via Zoom in two 3-hour sessions, taking place on Tuesday 5 November 2024 from 10am-1pm and Tuesday 12 November 2024 from 10am-1pm. It is necessary to attend both sessions to complete the full training.
