First Webinar Success!

Our First Webinar - What a Reponse!

Last week we hosted our inaugural webinar, and we were genuinely overwhelmed by the response:

We had 383 registrations and, on the day, attendees from over 40 countries around the world. It was a wonderful reminder of just how global the community of organisations doing this vital work really is.

We covered everything you need to know about what we are looking for in a project, the different amounts available, how to apply and the application process itself, as well as answering so many questions that we had to extend the time of the session!

If you weren't able to join us live, don't worry — you can watch the full webinar recording on our website at any time, and there is also a document with all the questions asked (and answered!) for you to read at your leisure. The link is at the top of the APPLY page HERE.
