Online Training Open | Fundraising for Conservation Projects
Do you have a conservation project idea you’d love to see happen?
Imagine how it would feel to get your idea off the ground, and implemented to help wildlife or habitats.
Now you can turn your ideas into reality with the help of our latest Conservation Careers training, Fundraising for Conservation Projects.
Why is fundraising important in your career?
88% … of conservationists rely on fundraising
$5 Billion … Biggest ever donation to conservation
>$91 Billion … Secured each year globally
In a sector dominated by charities, the majority of conservation projects are funded by donors. These can include large grants secured from governments and foundations to smaller donations via public campaigns, appeals, events and membership drives.
The more skilled you are as a fundraiser, the more money you’ll secure, and the more conservation you’ll get done. But few professional and aspiring conservationists have any formal training in fundraising.
In short, if you want to succeed as a professional conservationist, you need fundraising skills.
