Fundraising Fellowship Scheme 2025 is OPEN for applications

CBC has developed an initiative to boost fundraising for community arts and culture activities in the region, which has run for the past 3 years.

Would you like to take part in our next scheme?

There are two ways to be involved, either:

Fellow - Are you looking to develop your fundraising skills? Would you benefit from some one-to-one support?

If so, we could have an initial chat and from there we could link you with an arts fundraising Mentor. 

Arts Council Peer Working Group  - Are you thinking of applying to the Arts Council for a Project Grant (under £30k) either for the first time or have you have been declined in the past?

Do you feel like you need more confidence to apply? 

We are creating a small peer group to go through the application process together with expert input from fundraising consultants and an opportunity for one to one feedback.

Who is the scheme for?

Any community group, small CIC, charity, festival/event or creative organisation who wants to develop creative or cultural ideas/projects in the Black Country (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton)
