- Budget and Gift Table templates
- An initial 60-minute coaching session (either by phone or zoom) to assess your fundraising needs, what your next steps should be, and how to make use of our materials
- A 45-minute follow up session to gauge how successful these steps have been and to recommend further actions
- An additional 45-minute follow up coaching session for a fundraising area of your choice. www.churchgrants.co.uk/kickstarter
- Church Grant Consultancy (£475 day rate) More in-depth support for a successful fundraising campaign and/or appeal.
