Our workshops are an excellent opportunity to learn more about a single topic. They are designed to support a wide range of audiences, from professional fundraisers and those who support fundraising, to the general public. Instructors provide fundamental information for attendees but also leave time for questions and discussion.
Workshops are held over Zoom and a video connection is preferred (but not mandatory) for attendance.
