A Money4NONPROFITS Event
You are no doubt familiar with the TV show Dragon’s Den, where wanna-be entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of successful business owners, with the hope of securing finance for their start-up. This is similar but with Grant Makers (Funders).
In 2020, our Funders’ Den will be held in cyberspace and six Black, Asian, multi-ethnic and refugee (BAMER) led charities and social enterprises have the opportunity to pitch to Grant Making organisations for a chance to win a pot of money (amount TBC).
At the event will be representatives from leading Trusts and Foundations such as: Trust For London, Tudor Trust, Esmée Fairbairn, BBC Children in Need, CommUNITY Barnet, Procressi Initiative, The Heritage Lottery Community Fund, and Comic Relief !
Even if you are not pitching that day, you could still win lots of prizes. In addition, the first 100 people to log on that day will get the opportunity to network in a dedicated room with Funders.
More than that, all organisations that attend the Dragons Den will leave with the practical knowledge and confidence to secure funding in the future and build real resilience.
As usual, we will also be joined by a special guest, TBC. As well as the chance to hear our keynote speaker, the evening will provide an opportunity for information sharing and networking with key influencers, grant makers, corporate organisations and senior charity representatives.
Up to ten groups will present their elevator pitches after which the audience and Funders will select the winners who will be awarded grants for their projects.
Please note that the opportunity to pitch will be subject to strict guidelines.
The evening will also see the graduation of the AVOCADO+ Accelerator Programme Class of 2021.
