Meet The Funders

Meet the Funders is an innovative year-long programme providing conferences and workshops to inform, inspire and strengthen community work in Cornwall

Run in partnership between Transformation Cornwall & the Diocese of Truro, The Meet the Funders programme runs throughout the year and is open to people and organisations of all faith and none.

It begins with a large spring event where major local and national funders meet participants seeking funding for social projects.

The spring event is followed by a series of smaller community workshops or one-to-one support sessions. The aim is to take participants through the key stages of developing, funding, and sustaining a community social action project.

Thank you to all the funders who presented at our Spring event at St Erme Community Centre this year. Nearly 80 delegates, representing local churches, faith, and community groups, came from all over Cornwall to listen and discuss their project ideas with local and national funders.

Meet the Funders Spring 2022

Meet the Funders was a great start to my journey into fundraising…. It helped to de-mystify some aspects of applying for grants with a reminder that behind the online applications, real people are engaging with projects.
