This session will focus on how to build rapport with a potential funder as a three-step dance routine, run by Bill Bruty from OCVA.
Bill will convey the key experiences and ideas he has acquired over his career. In 120 minutes, you will gain the essential ideas and tools of an effective fundraiser. This session will look at successful bid writing, building rapport with funders and getting the best out of the student community.
Bill has been a professional fundraiser since 1984 and has worked as Fundraising Manager or Director for three large national charities in the UK. As a fundraiser, he has successfully raised several million pounds from some of the world’s largest companies and foundations, such as Marks and Spencer, Barclays Bank and the Sainsbury family Trusts. He is also one of the UK’s leading fundraising trainers, working with clients as diverse as UNICEF UK, the Directory of Social Change and the Open University Business School, as well as small community based agencies in the UK, Ecuador and Eastern Africa.
OCVA’s vision is for Oxfordshire to be a county where all communities are valued and everyone has a chance to contribute. Their mission is to enable a diverse voluntary and community sector to flourish in Oxfordshire, and they do that by providing advice, information and training, acting as advocates and representatives, and building partnerships.
