Since attending the School our fundraising income has definitely increased – we have had seven awards of £5,000-£30,000 in the last six months alone... The bottom line is that I recently had to admit to our Artistic Director that I am now actually enjoying fundraising! But don’t tell anyone else.

Christine Stewart, General Manager, Hearts & Minds

The National Arts Fundraising School has been invaluable. Since attending, I have been involved in capital partnership fundraising campaigns totalling some £3.1M. I couldn't have raised this much money without the skills I gained on the School!

David Jane, Head of Development, Belgrade Theatre

Since NAFS I have raised well in excess of £100,000 and developed many new relationships with trusts that previously didn't support our organisation. This course should be compulsory for all fundraising in the arts. It's a fantastic, well-rounded grounding in all aspects of fundraising.
