Don't miss the chance to submit an application for the CASE Europe Scholarship for this year's Spring Institute in Educational Fundraising (SIEF). Applications close on 26 March: https://lnkd.in/eZxTXAwy   The scholarship covers the full Institute registration fee, including catering and accommodation. The aim is to encourage attendance from individuals belonging to underrepresented groups and make the Institute more accessible to members from institutions with limited resources. SIEF builds foundational knowledge, equipping professionals to drive fundraising in their institutions, with a broad range of sessions covering major gifts, annual giving, and regular giving fundraising. Plus, delegates join faculty-led tutor groups to delve into programme content, receive bespoke advice, and develop a valuable peer network.

Today marks the last day of our inaugural Global Leaders Programme, an international study tour providing a masterclass in reputation, advocacy, and engagement. University leaders from the UK have learnt from prestigious institutions on the US East Coast: Harvard University, Boston University, Princeton University, John Hopkins University, and Georgetown University. Our cohort has been wonderfully supported by faculty: Anton Muscatelli, Rachel Sandison OBE (FCIM), Alistair Jarvis CBE, Andrew Monk, Liesl Elder, Robert Henry, Emma Darwin and Alex Favier. During these extraordinarily challenging times for the education sector, it is especially essential to gain a global understanding of strategy and practice, participate in open exchanges and learn from one another. The next cohort of this unique development opportunity invites senior leaders from Australia and New Zealand to connect, collaborate, and gain insights from global experts, commencing with an international study tour to the UK this September.
