This webinar is ideal if you’re looking for ways to fundraise for your business in 2023.

We’ll cover the basics, understanding how you fundraise and what kind of fundraising options there are, before looking in detail at crowdfunding and how it can work specifically for purposeful businesses and charities.

Using examples of successful (and unsuccessful!) crowdfunding campaigns, we will cover the things you need to think about in your messaging and strategy, and why great crowdfunded projects succeed.

Whether you’re committed to launching a crowdfunding campaign, curious about how it works, or just looking for fresh ideas when it comes to fundraising for your project, this workshop is a great place to start.

Who is it for?

Social enterprises, trading charities and purposeful businesses in Oxfordshire, UK.
