The need
Due to their diverse range of operation, FACET were required to develop a fundraising strategy for approval by their Board of Trustees.
The support
Partner organisations provided a framework for mentoring which outlined:
- processes
- outcomes
- barriers
- opportunities
- fundraising and strategic development, and
- action planning.
The impact
A completed fundraising strategy has been developed and was sent to the trustee board for approval. This includes both an assessment of current funding and the possibilities for future growth.
