An introduction to the largest philanthropic market outside the USA – the multi-billion philanthropic market in continental Europe. The market will be covered, explaining the background to philanthropy in Europe, showing examples of current giving and fundraising, and illustrating where and how UK organisations have succeeded in winning funds, as well as the potential pitfalls. You will be shown where and how to find out more about people, companies and foundations as donors, and outline successful strategies for development.
The presentation will detail the EU grants available from the various EU institutions and will give an overview of:
- How to locate information about the EU grant opportunities available;
- How to set about applying for a grant;
- The general principles to keep in mind when applying;
- What happens if a grant application is successful e.g. audit procedures;
- Exploring a number of myths surrounding EU funding;
- Real examples of successful and unsuccessful applications will be given and participants will be given the chance to discuss their own potential schemes.
After attending the seminar participants would expect:
- A clear, objective, overview of the philanthropic market in continental Europe;
- Examples of successes in Europe;
- Examples of strategies for fundraising in Europe;
- An opportunity to discuss issues involved and the potential for their own organisation;
- A list of sources of further information on philanthropy in Europe;
Following the presentation participants will:
- Have a better understanding of how the EU Commission administers its numerous grant regimes;
- Where to find the information about the grants;
- How, when and where to apply for grants;
- Have a better understanding of best practice procedures when applying.
Speaker, Part I: Chris Carnie, Factary
A research consultant, specialising in strategic funding – gifts, grants and investments by philanthropists, foundations, companies and government – in Europe
Speaker, Part II: Dr. Paul Quantock, Senior Partner, European Consultancy Services
Dr. Quantock has been assisting organisations throughout the world to secure European Union funding since 1973. Using European Union grant funding, he has been involved in the development of numerous Internet based training programmes for all ages and levels of ability.
During the lunch break there will be a presentation by Simon Clark - Director, Private Clients and Charities, Baring Asset Management on "Targeted Return". Simon will explain why more charities and individuals are turning to an approach that seeks to deliver consistent real or targeted returns, an approach that puts as much importance on preserving capital in the bad times as growing it in the good. Copies of his presentation will be available.
Delegates will also receive a complimentary copy of EU Grants Directory 2009 (which includes 12 months access to EU Grants Update Service)
