Grants for plays in 2021 are now available! Our trustees are available to talk to you about your Passion Play and applications are accepted until the end of November 2020. You can download application forms by clicking the image above. We also have lots of fundraising advice on the website here.
Just like online dating, trying to find the right match among so many different trusts and funding charities is the key!
Once you find trusts and funders who are of a similar mindset and value the things you value, you are well on the way to a perfect match.
Now is the time to do some research and really think about compatibility with the funders you are researching.
You can research their online content, websites, and also Further information will be inread through their annual reports published on the Charity Commissions website (click ‘Documents’ tab). These annual reports will give useful imformation about projects they have previously funded.
A quick phone call can also be helpful in establishing contact and goodwill as you will be able to find out more about them and let them know what you do.
Remember here that one of the key elements is timing! Some funders have a set application process that requires you to apply before a deadline. Other funders have trustees’ meetings at set times during the year and those times are good to work with.
The timing of your project also matters. Some funders like to fund projects in the early stage of development, while others like to give funding when they see other funders have already contributed.
There is a lot to think about with fundraising! But Passion Plays are such unique projects that it can also be an enjoyable process. Many funders like to hear about large community arts events that tell the Easter story in fresh and inspiring ways. Not only do Passion Plays have large outdoor audiences across the UK each Easter, they are also unique spaces of community, skill-sharing, mentoring and investing in the lives of volunteers across all sections of society. They are more than a one-off performance and the impact spreads across the whole community for many months.
If you want more help with fundraising, we have plenty more tips and advice on our website here.
