Funding Advice and Support

You can get help with your specific funding questions, and one-to-one support with your funding applications and strategies from SYFAB's Development Team. We have workers covering each of the four districts in South Yorkshire.

In particular, SYFAB Development Workers can:

• Help you identify your funding needs
• Help you to work out costs and draw up a budget for fundraising, and put together funding plans and strategies
• Give you advice on your funding applications
• Help you determine which funders are likely to support your work
• Help you to improve your fundraising skills and knowledge
• Refer you to other sources of help and advice.

We prioritise work with organisations who have difficulty fundraising. These include groups:

• With no paid workers
• In isolated urban or rural areas
• That are not part of existing networks or forums
• Whose aim is to combat disadvantage, and those working with particularly disadvantaged communities or people, including ethnic minorities, disabled people, women, unemployed people and young people.

Contact a member of the Development Team to discuss your fundraising needs and book an appointment.
