Fundraising coaching and workshops
Creative Australia’s State Manager Development and Partnerships are a team of five locally based arts fundraising advisors that build the fundraising capability of artists and arts and cultural organisations.
The team deliver fundraising workshops, provide a coaching and advice service and facilitate peer-to-peer networking events.
