Get Grants FREE Virtual Events bring fundraisers across the UK together to share experiences and connect with other fundraisers.
In our popular Meet the Funder events, Get Grants Funding Experts are joined by funders to talk about their funding programmes. These events give attendees the opportunity to speak directly to funders, get unique insights, and ask questions specific to their project or organisation.
At our May 2021 event, Get Grants were joined by Michelle Brodie, Community and Environment Lead for Groundwork West Midlands, who fund Tesco Community Grants.
As this event was fully booked, with many people unable to join, we have made a recording of the event available to watch online for free.
