Fundraising is more than just a search for financial resources; it is about finding the right partners who believe in your mission. In this final training session of our Cultural Project Management series, we shift our focus toward long-term sustainability and growth.
Led by fundraising expert Fairooz Tamimi, this session will provide you with a strategic roadmap for identifying funding opportunities and navigating the complex landscape of international grants. We will move beyond theory into practical reality, exploring how to develop a fundraising plan and how to avoid the common mistakes in writing funding applications. You will also learn how to „pitch“ your project to donors.
