Identifying and bidding for grants

Securing grant funding is critical to our ability to grow and develop our programme and impact.

Donor Relationships and Reporting

We want to give our donors visability of how we are spending their funds, and the impact they are having.

Supporting Volunteer Fundraising

Our voluneers raised over £130,000 in 2016-17. This huge acheievement was a big challenge – but is critical to our impact in schools.

The Fundraising Committee is a space to prove and grow your skills. Whether it’s event planning, social media campaigns, writing detailed applications to a grant-making body, or just being incredibly helpful and proactive to support PWs in their fundraising toward their individual targets, members of the Fundraising Committee can develop and demonstrate their skills toward future jobs. Fundraising roles are a significant percentage of third-sector vacancies, but these skills would be just as useful to someone interested in consultancy, PR, marketing, or other careers. And most of all – without the Fundraising Committee, EPAfrica couldn’t exist in its current form.

The Fundraising Committee will meet (virtually) as a group once a month and is chaired by the Director of Fundraising, who sits on the Board of Directors. The committee consists of Managers, Officers and Associates and will include members of the University Societies who have responsibilities for fundraising. Managers and Officers have a defined portfolio of responsibilities that they lead and coordinate. These roles are a great opportunity to make an impact on a defined area. Associates responsibilies are more fluid, and they volunteer flexibily on specific project throughout the year.

In addition to the roles defined above you can also join the Fundraising Committee’s ‘Pool’ as a Fundraising Associate. As an Associate, you will volunteer flexibly throughout the year, committing to a variety of activities in the short-term on an ad-hoc basis. Associates attend monthly committee meetings, and volunteer for specific task as their availability allows. This model enables the Fundraising Committee to deploy volunteers responsively to grab opportunities and quickly address any emerging issues or risks.

The Committee will delegate self-contained projects to the pool, such as a grant application, but you will also find yourself supporting Managers and Officers at key points in the year when the delivery of their responsibilities require all hands on deck – for example during crowdfunding campaigns. Lastly, sometimes more heads on a problem means a better result and each Committee has a number of sub-working groups addressing those more complex area, which you can also join.
