Welcome to Fundraising for Schools

If you are involved in school fundraising, then you should be reading Fundraising for Schools.

Fundraising for Schools (previously Practical Funding for Schools) is a monthly magazine, containing up-to-date and accurate information about all the sources of extra funding from which your school could benefit.

Each issue Fundraising for Schools will let you know which exactly which grants and awards are available; the criteria for application; and how and when to apply.

In addition, the magazine will provide you with case studies from schools that have previously applied for funding so that you can learn from their successes and failures, as well as inspirational ideas to help brighten up your traditional fundraising events. See below a list of our regular features.

Fundraising for Schools is written by contributors who have years of experience in both education and fundraising. It is targeted at head teachers, deputy heads, bursars, school business development managers, school governors, and anyone else involved in or with delegated responsibility for school fundraising.

If your school is seeking funds for a specific project - or just raising funds to aid its improvement and development - then Fundraising for Schools is a must-read publication.

Testimonials

Here is a selection of testimonials

  • "I have been a fundraiser working predominantly with schools in Leeds for two years and, through reading Fundraising for Schools, we have received more than £100,000 towards various school and community projects. I wouldn’t be without it – consulting Fundraising for Schools has always managed to produce great results for us."
    Shari Baker, Fundraiser, Leeds
  • "Through reading Fundraising for Schools I got £3,000 from one foundation for a bio-acoustical system which we use in the PE hall and in assemblies. I also got £700 from the EMI Music Foundation towards building an internal radio station on a permanent basis. All as a result of seeing leads in Fundraising for Schools. I have been a fundraiser for eight years and I still find it an invaluable tool."
