The voluntary and community sector

3. Funding

There are several ways in which a voluntary and community sector organisation can generate the funds they require to deliver services to their beneficiaries. This can include:

donations from the public or businesses
fundraising activities
a person may leave a gift in their will
grant giving organisations
sponsorships
and more.

At Aiming Higher we have many ways in which we generate funds.

Donations from local organisations
Grants from grant giving organisations
Fundraising activities, such as our annual ball
Fundraising organised and completed by external members of the public

Raising awareness of the charity, the work we do, why we do it and the impact it has is a key part of generating funds that enable the charity to continue to operate.
