Building on the success of last year’s online funding fair when we had over 2000 bookings across the 3 days. We are doing it all again with some new exciting funders for 2022
Monday14th March is a day for Yorkshire and Humber funders
Tuesday 15th March is a day of national funders
Wednesday 16th March is another day of national funders
How this will work is each funder has been allocated a 30 minute session using Zoom to explain what funding they have and also how the application process works. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions. You will need to book separately for each session you wish to attend.
This is a FREE event but if you fancy helping us with the costs you can donate the cost of a coffee.

The funders attending so far are:
Session 1 Key Fund 9:00 – 9:50
The Key Fund offers flexible loans and grant/loan packages to help the community and social enterprises to start up, become sustainable, or grow.
Session 2 Easyfundraising 10:00 – 10:50
Easyfundraising is the UK’s biggest charity shopping site where you can raise money for your good cause when your supporters shop on line. easyfundraising turns everyday online shopping into free donations for your cause – your supporters shop as normal (but start on your easyfundraising cause page), and then retailers will make a small donation to say “thank you”.
If you would like to set up your free easyfundraising page before the session, you can do that here:
