• Where can I crowdfund – what platforms are available?
• How to write the perfect pitch.
• Choosing the right rewards.
• Marketing your crowdfunding project.
• Engaging, thanking and keeping in touch with your new funders.
• Marketing your progress.
• Your next steps.

Who is the Roadshow for?
The sponsorship and fundraising event is suitable for arts practitioners and cultural organisations of any size who have never considered sponsorship but would like to know more about it, or those who have been successful in obtaining sponsorship and would like to know more about the New Arts Sponsorship Grants scheme, or who would like to know more about how to go about crowd-funding to raise income for their cultural project.

The Crowdfunding workshop is suitable for all individuals, organisations and professionals who work within the Cultural, Creative, Heritage and Arts sector.
