Inspiring Fundraising Toolkit
This toolkit aims to help everyone in the heritage sector in Scotland raise funds for their organisation, cause or project, effectively and with greater confidence.
This interactive toolkit is designed to support you develop fundraising for your organisation. It is full of advice, covering everything from crowdfunding to legacies and from writing a case for support to creating a charitable trust.
The toolkit was compiled through the Resourcing Scotland’s Heritage programme which ran for four years and came to an end in 2018. Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Arts & Business Scotland, Archaeology Scotland, Built Environment Forum Scotland, greenspace Scotland and Museums Galleries Scotland worked together to develop a programme to provide fundraising training to a wide range of heritage organisations throughout Scotland. This toolkit captures all of the key learning and resources from that programme.
