Workshop: Funding Social Change
Worldstudio is offering a new workshop to assist designers in bringing their social change concepts to fruition.
The workshop will focus on funding strategies for socially responsible projects that are not client-based, as well as how to partner with non-profits. This is not a business plan class for building a business – it is a workshop that teaches the skills needed to develop and fund project ideas for the public good.
Topics that will be covered include:
- Engaging non-profit partners who can benefit and legitimize your idea
- Creating a project budget, marketing plan and funding model
- Determining the key values that drive various types of funders
- Primary assets that should be offered to potential sponsors/funders
- PR as a primary driver for sponsors/funders
- Assessing appropriate project partners, sponsorship prospects and grant opportunities
- Effectively presenting and engaging appropriate sponsors and partners
- Involving stakeholders in the process
- Sponsorship vs. foundation grants
This workshop is presented by Sappi’s Ideas that Matter Program.
