Webinar: Writing for Impact

Are your funding applications lacking impact? Could your case for support be refined?

Funders receive huge numbers of applications and letters so it’s important to make your writing and applications clear and stand out. Sign up for this ACAVA Talks webinar with fundraising consultant Lucy Stone to learn how to improve your applications, with insight into: using behavioural economics to transform your writing; top tips on what works including language and layout; funders’ pet peeves; types of writing including free form applications, letters and applications; cases for support – what are the key messages you need to include; using examples to highlight key information; common traps people fall into and useful resources. Come prepared with questions and Lucy will do her best to help!
