Non-profit groups who are looking for funding or to recruit more members are invited to take part in a series of workshops facilitated by training providers Exult.

Thanks to support from Central Lakes Trust and the Otago Community Trust, Volunteer South and Sport Otago are able to bring workshops from Exult, one of the country’s leading training providers, at the discounted rate of $25-35 per workshop.

“These online workshops will be fully interactive and engaging and are available to organisations across Otago and Southland, so we encourage people to book soon to secure your spot,” Volunteer South Central Otago manager Gillian White said.

There are three topics - raising your profile, sustainable funding and secrets of sponsorship. 

“Each workshop will take place over two separate online sessions and will provide participants with a range of tools to help make their jobs just that little bit easier and their organisations stronger.”

The first workshop, sustainable funding, takes place over two sessions on June 30 and July 7, 6pm-8pm.

The workshop will look at the importance of creating a sustainable funding plan and how to do so; explore the seven key streams of funding; determine the differences between donations, sponsorship and grants; and provide organisations with simple tricks and tips to raise more money, more often.

Exult exists to provide training and support to community organisations with practical resources in everyday language.

Its team has over 80 years experience in the community sector helping non-profits grow.
