Corporate fundraising mentor wanted
Sam Jury Partnership and Development Manager at Lifeskills Learning for Living Posted 10 months ago
Happy Wednesday everyone!
I'm have the privilege of working for Lifeskills Learning for Living, a safety education charity in Bristol that helps vulnerable people (mainly children) to learn how to keep themselves safe from accidental injuries in the home and whilst out and about.
We have a custom built village where visitors take an exciting interactive tour to spot common indoor and outdoor hazards. Safety topics we cover include water, home, road, railway, personal, electrical, fire, first aid, leisure, online, drugs....and our main programme works with over 10,000 Year 6 primary school children every year.
Part of my job is to approach local businesses to ask if they will support the charity either as a brand partner (sponsoring a shop front or branded products within the village) or any business that will help to subsidise the entry cost for their local school.
I have a long list of prospects but I'm not confident on the actual end to end process so I'm ideally looking for a mentor who can help me with each of the steps in attracting local firms. I've attended webinars but found the corporate fundraising was on too large a scale.
I'm thinking a monthly chat, say for 3-6 months would be great to help get me started on this journey....
Thanks so much!
