Fundraising Clinics

NRTF’s monthly Fundraising Clinic sessions are designed to be a space for members to virtually meet with each other alongside our in-house Fundraising and Project Managers Jo and Amy.

We’ll chat about all things fundraising with a flexible monthly theme to give each session a conversational starting point. It’s a great opportunity to ask advice from our fundraisers and other members who have shared similar experiences – and of course to shout about your upcoming projects!
