Providing strategic fundraising advice and support
When the new Festival Manager took over with only a few months to go until the next festival, she found herself juggling many balls in the air, and asked Stefan Lipa Fundraising Consultancy for support with the fundraising process.
We reviewed the history, background and documentation of the Festival. This included a brainstorming planning meeting to make sure that all bases were covered, and that an appropriate Case for Support was drafted. We then prepared an outline plan of action which was agreed with the Festival Manager. Subsequently we enjoyed assisting with research and drafting applications to grant-making trusts.
"When I took on the role of running a music festival, I soon realised that I was going to struggle to raise the funds needed for this year’s event as well as get to grips with a much-needed overhaul of the operations side of the organisation. I had worked with Stefan and Anna before and I felt very comfortable asking them for some help with prioritising and bid-writing. They have been immensely supportive and without their experienced guidance and input my first year with the festival would undoubtedly have been a much less happy one!"
