If you want to raise more money from trusts and foundations, why not take some time out to do a bit of good old-fashioned self- evaluation?  It will probably help with other forms of fundraising too.

Investing time to work with colleagues to review the difference your charity is making is well worth it.  Not least because being able to demonstrate the impact and outcomes of your work will make you infinitely more attractive to donors - especially to charitable trusts, foundations and some individual major donors.

How are you doing? 

A client recently asked us to produce a funding bid to submit BBC Children in Need.  Children in Need have produced a downloadable guide - ‘How are you doing?’ - that explains what self-evaluation is, why it’s important, and how to do it.  It gets you thinking about how to collect and use information that will help you evaluate how well you are doing at meeting the needs of the beneficiaries your charity was set up to help.

So for a newly appointed trust fundraiser or CEO of a small charity, Pudsey is a great place to start - with first-hand insights into some of the things funders are looking for.

Thanks Pudsey!
