2. Different ways of raising funds

There are many ways of raising funds and the approach you choose will largely depend on how much is needed, and for what purpose.
Funding for your organisation might come from:

• Fundraising events such as car boot sales or cultural evenings
• Statutory funders – i.e. central or local government (see governmentfunding.org.uk for more details)
• Charitable trusts and foundations

Figure one (see downloads, right) illustrates possible resources to consider when fundraising.

Figure two (see download, right) provides a clear overview of the advantages and disadvantages of a range of funding sources, including statutory and charitable trusts and foundations.
