Apprenticeship
The Fundraiser Apprenticeship
The Fundraiser apprenticeship develops the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to plan, deliver, and evaluate fundraising campaigns and donor engagement activity across a range of organisational contexts. It is suited to individuals working within charities, voluntary organisations, social enterprises, or any organisation that relies on income from fundraising activity.
What does the Fundraiser assessment involve?
The apprenticeship assessment for the Fundraiser standard is made up of two components.
Case for support pitch with presentation and questioning
After gateway, apprentices produce a written case for support of up to 3,000 words, submitted to progress minded within 6 weeks of the gateway date, demonstrating understanding of donor motivations, organisational needs, and ethical fundraising practice. This is followed by a 15-minute presentation and 30 minutes of questioning, with a minimum of 5 questions, typically delivered face to face.
Professional discussion underpinned by a portfolio of evidence
A structured 60-minute professional discussion. The assessor uses planned and follow-up questions to explore how the apprentice applied fundraising knowledge, skills, and behaviours in practice, underpinned by a portfolio of real work from the apprenticeship. At progress minded, we guide all parties through the process clearly and calmly, so there are no surprises at the end.
