I work for a small charity and cannot afford to attend the Convention. What options do I have?
There are two ways that you can attend the Convention at a lower or no cost - this involves applying for a bursary or volunteering at the event. Places are awarded every May but to be in with a chance, all applications have to be made by April.

Bursaries are open to applicants from across the not-for-profit sector regardless of their cause and size of their organisation. Domestic bursaries are available in conjunction with the Guardian. For residents of the UK, up to 40 one day passes are available. Please click on Bursaries on the left hand side of this page to apply.

Alternatively if you are looking for an active role at Convention, the Institute of Fundraising events team is looking for a 60 strong team of volunteers. With over 1,700 attendees across the three days, volunteers carry out a number of duties in partnership with Institute staff. These include registration, managing workshops, assisting delegates and much more. Volunteers are also able to attend the sessions and see the speakers that interest them.
