Who attends
The School’s success is largely due to the diversity of the individuals who attend from both large and small organisations.
The networking opportunities at the School are immense, and continue long after the programme finishes, when you become a member of the NAFS Alumni.
You’ll be among marketing managers, development officers, communications directors, administrators, general managers, artistic directors, local authority arts officers and festival organisers, all of whom are responsible for fundraising in some way. The learning you take away from the School will be significantly enriched by the work you’ll do with participants from different organisations (both UK based and international) and with different job titles.
