Practical workshops designed to strengthen your impact and secure your future.

Funding and fundraising can be one of the most challenging tasks for non-profits, charities, organisations, and arts practitioners. That is why we have partnered with Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC), huddl, Sport Central and the Conservation Alliance to bring you The Funding Series.

Launched in 2025, this collaborative initiative provides FREE monthly workshops (March to June) across Arrowtown, Queenstown and Wānaka. The Funding Series is supported by Queenstown Lakes District Council and Central Lakes Trust.

The 2026 Funding Series has now wrapped up. We plan to be back in early 2027, so make sure to subscribe or follow to stay informed
