National Arts Fundraising School (NAFS) - Discovery Webinar - Woman wearing glasses

Join our free 30-minute webinar on 16th May 2025 at 15:00 to have all your questions answered.

The National Arts Fundraising School has helped almost 1000 arts, culture and heritage fundraisers. Our follow-up research suggests 500 of them have raised over £500M between them. Could 2025 be the year you join them and
start to build a sustainable funding base for your organisation?

Find out over a half hour in an informal discovery webinar where you can meet the programme leaders, hear from previous attendees, and find out which version is best for you:

  • The flexible online version — commit just two half days a week over five weeks at your desk or kitchen table.
  • The intensive residential version — join us for six days in a beautiful hotel focusing on nothing but fundraising.

This no-obligation free webinar will introduce you to the content and structure of the programmes and explain how you and your organisation can benefit, whether you’re a theatre, gallery, touring opera company, heritage venue, community arts agency or an individual artist. We also welcome local authority officers keen to expand their skill set.
