2010 FSI Affiliates Programme – Apply Now
At the FSI we are committed to helping small charities to develop – to help them identify and introduce the systems, structures and activities that will enable them to fulfil their aims and objectives more effectively and efficiently. This support, helps not just the small charity itself, at an individual level, but also contributes towards the long-term sustainability of the small charity sector.
As part of this commitment, this month we are introducing our revamped Affiliates Programme, building on our previous Partners programme to provide eight selected affiliate charities with a 12-month package (Jan-Dec) of comprehensive hands-on support. Each Affiliate will have access to a tailored programme of training and organisational development opportunities aimed at moving you closer to sustainable delivery and diversification.
We are pleased to announce that we have some places available in the 2010 intake for charities working in the Environmental and Animals, Religion and Arts, Sport and Culture areas.
To apply for the Affiliates programme, charities should check that they meet the criteria below and complete the application form (which needs to be returned to us by the 27th of January).
