Fundraising - Find it for free

With the funding season about to start, education grants expert
Caroline Voogd rounds up some places to look.

Underfunding, the 'national living wage', business rates, auto-enrolment: increased costs have never been more of a hot topic than currently. So why not try to get some money for free? There are many funding streams out there, if you only know where to look.

We won't lie: successful fundraising does take time, especially when you start. So don't waste your energy by choosing the wrong grants.

Before you start

- Be clear on what you are trying to achieve - this will help you ensure that you are looking for the right funding streams.

- Look in lots of places, so as not to miss opportunities. An appropriate grant is easier to apply for than one that is not a good fit, so research saves you time.
