2024 Application – Fundraising Forum Bursaries

Parachute Digital is delighted to join the 2024 F&P Fundraising Forum as Bursary Partner. Their support has enabled four bursaries for fundraisers from small-to-medium nonprofits to attend the F&P Fundraising Forum in Sydney on 28 & 29 August 2024. This opportunity is for organisations with limited budgets that struggle to offer their fundraising staff the opportunity to attend conferences.

You can view the 2024 Fundraising Forum program here.

Eligibility

Please carefully read the following eligibility criteria before you complete this application form:

Your organisation must have an annual revenue (from all sources) of $3million or less.
Your organisation is not required to have DGR status, but it must fit the definition of a nonprofit, for-purpose or social enterprise organisation and it must be actively engaged in fundraising.
The bursaries are for the registration cost of the Main Conference only on 28 and 29 August 2024. Should you wish to attend any Fundraising Forum masterclasses on 27 August, you will need to cover this masterclass registration cost. Program details and registration prices can be found here.
Any travel and accommodation costs must be covered by the applicant.
You must be able to attend the conference in-person if your application is successful. Bursary recipients will be chosen based on both organisation and individual, and bursaries are therefore non-transferable between colleagues.
Fundraising Forum 2024 is an in-person conference – there is no virtual or recorded offering. By applying for a bursary, you are committing to attending the conference in Sydney in-person.
If you meet the eligibility criteria above, and you have already registered and paid for a Fundraising Forum ticket, you can still apply for a bursary. Should your bursary application be successful, we will refund your registration fee (for the Main Conference, not masterclasses).

Key dates

The deadline for bursary applications is 5pm AEST, Friday 21 June.
Successful bursary recipients will be informed by email by 5pm AEST, Wednesday 26 June (meaning that unsuccessful applicants can still take advantage of Super Early Bird registration prices, which close at 11.59pm AEST on Thursday 27 June).
If you do not hear from F&P by 5pm on Wednesday 26 June, you should assume your bursary application has been unsuccessful.

Please ensure you complete ALL fields on this form in order for your application to be considered.
