How to Fundraise from European Foundations

Are you a fundraiser who is looking for ways to diversify your organization’s funding sources? Do you want to tap into new markets that you have not taken advantage of until now? Then this course is just right for you!

Learn how to raise funds from the thousands of European foundations!

European foundations give a lot of money to projects every year – the 147,000 foundations in 24 countries give over 71 billion US$ a year. Nevertheless, many fundraisers are not familiar with many European foundations and don´t take advantage of the opportunities presenting themselves here.

Different names, languages and the absence of a centralized database and varying or absence of public reporting requirements can make it difficult to gather information about European foundations. However there are many European foundations that support projects in their own country and abroad, but the challenge is to find the right needle in the haystack.

This is where we can help. In this online certificate course, you will learn

• • Why you should not ignore the European funding landscape
  • How to focus your research to find great donor fits
  • How to find potential donors in Europe – even within the difficult circumstances
  • Which resources you can use to help in your research of European Foundations
  • How to use these resources effectively (i.e. UK charity commission)
  • Where you can get the information that you need to network successfully with European Foundations

In this course, you will get all the information you need to start researching European foundations and network with them. In this online course, our instructor Erik Detiger will share his best tips from more than 20 years of experience with you.
