When the going gets tough - the tough really do need to get going - and that is why in  partnership with Mingara we are hosting this fundraising seminar to help all community based organisations and part time fundraisers become self sufficient in attracting funding.

No matter what the economic climate may be, simple rules of engagement will always apply.  This win-win seminar will in many ways confirm what you may already know and most importantly it will help you develop the edge in attracting much needed funding.
