This workshop provides practical guidance on securing funding and building a sustainable growth strategy. Participants will explore different funding options, gain insight into what investors and funders look for, and examine how to balance purpose with profit while protecting their mission. Through hands-on activities, they will develop a compelling funding proposition, including a one-minute pitch, funding narrative, and simple growth plan, culminating in a funding challenge exercise.
