Our Funding Guide provides information on funders, what they are looking for, the types of funding available and how to identify which funders are most likely to support your type of organisation or project. The guide provides a checklist of the documents and information you want to have ready for your applications, and some helpful tips to make your life a little easier when you’re seeking funding.

The toolkit provides a brief explanation of each area followed by a list of questions to help you think through how these apply to your organisation. A guide to getting started in each area is provided along with links to free online resources. Check out the Core Skills Toolkit Below.
