Fundraising Support
VAC's fundraising support service can help you to acquire those much needed funds by giving small groups the support they need to develop a planned approach to fundraising.
There have been several recent improvements to our service:
- New "Grant Finder" software was recently added to our resources
- An email newsletter giving subscribers a monthly update of funding sources
- One-to-one grant application advice
- Funding seminars that provide opportunities to “Meet the Funder”
- Fundraising training sessions
- A whole range of publications on fundraising held in our library
- Funding 'surgeries', tailor-made support to the needs of your organisation.
Fundraising Training & Meet the Funder Workshops
There are many fundraising events over the next few months. More...
Funding Surgeries at Community Centres
Funding advice sessions are being offered through out 2007 at various community centres to help hard-to-reach/ marginalised small groups within their neighbourhoods to develop their ideas or projects by accessing funding opportunities. Please follow this link for more information.
Sustainable Funding
Sustainable funding is a new concept for exploring diverse funding mix of income sources for voluntary community organisations. It is a principle for organisations to adopt a robust financial management and fundraising strategy, which will produce a balancing mix between 'asking for funds' through grants and 'earning income' through contracts and trading goods & services. VAC wants to encourage voluntary and community organisations to explore a whole range of issues around funding.

Grant Finder
VAC is trying out Grant Finder for a year. Unlike Funder Finder, which is limited to searching for only Trusts & Foundations, Grant Finder cuts across all the major sources of funding to produce a wide range of funding opportunities for your organisation. To book a session, or if you just want to have a look through Grantfinder, please contact Sarah (details below).
