How We Help
Designed around you
The National Arts Fundraising School is the only training and development programme that combines improving your skills and helping you develop a strategy.
We now offer three flavours of the school. The online option is delivered over 4 weeks, 1.5 days a week and is ideal if you’re looking for a flexible work-at-your-own-pace option.
For those who need a balance of self reflection and in-room interaction, we now offer a second flavour the mix-and-match hybrid option combining online and onsite.
And for those looking for a focused chance to have a sort-out-your-strategy week, then the intensive onsite residential might be ideal.
