Centre Fundraising Support
Welcome to the Centre Fundraising Support page
The resources below were put together as a response by the fundraising team at FutureDharma to the international coronavirus lockdown. They detail the best practice and key principles for fundraising and are therefore still largely relevant to any fundraising, whether online or in person. We hope you still find something useful below. If you would like more help or guidance FutureDharma can offer bespoke training – see an invitation from them at the bottom of this page.
