National Hubs
Improving support for the Third Sector
The best from the hubs
The National Hubs that support the Third Sector have brought their most useful information on communicating with funders together in one place.
Here you can find the most up-to-date guidance on building a successful funding relationship.
Working with your funders
The funding relationship underpins the Third Sector's work. But it's not just about money, it's also about communication and best practice in governance, ICT, volunteering, managing staff and the performance of the organisation.
The National Hubs share a commitment to helping you work creatively and effectively with your funders and now they have brought their best ideas together.
Working with your organisations
This new resource is not just for Third Sector organisations. Funders too will find the latest information and ideas useful. 'Communicating with Funders' will help you save time and money by ensuring both you and the organisation you support are up-to-date with the latest information and best practice.
Everything you need in one place
The Finance Hub website already provides you with the information you need to find and manage your funding.
Helping you communicate
If you're a Third Sector organisation, armed with this expertise from the six hubs, you'll be in a much stronger position to talk to your funders. You'll have the information, know the issues and have the ideas to make sure your conversation with funders is productive.
If you're a funder you can make sure that both you and the organisations talking to you are starting from the same basis of the latest information and best practice.
The hubs are:
The leading voice on Third Sector funding offers plain-English help with issues such as Full Cost Recovery, Local Authority Asset Transfer and Procurement. You will also find special advice for BME organisations looking to make the most of their relationships with funders.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become integral to the strategic management and operation of effectively run organisations. The ICT Hub provides support and resources to help your organisation calculate the full cost of managing and developing ICT, find sources of funding and access low cost and free products and services.
