This online workshop with Achates Senior Consultant Phoebe Walker will explore raising funds from individuals, with a focus on crowdfunding. We’ll look at when and how you might launch a campaign; how to centre the impact you’ll create at the heart of your message; how to structure and manage a campaign; and – most importantly – how you can most effectively ask other people to donate.
