Regular giving is the lynchpin for fundraising across the education sector, fuelling the pipeline for major gifts, legacies and helping to build a lifelong relationship with your institution. Meanwhile, legacy income to Higher Education institutions far exceeds that of other areas of the charity sector. Whilst funding for universities and independent schools remains turbulent, our organisations are turning to us for sustained growth and more unrestricted income, all whilst tightening the purse strings. 

That's why there’s never been a more important time to develop your skills and confidence as a fundraiser. At this year’s conference, we’ll explore how you can make the most of your resources, speak about your work with authority and develop practical fundraising skills to maximise your impact.
