Uplift fees & bursaries
The cost of taking part is offered at a discounted rate, thanks to Cause4’s Arts Fundraising & Philanthropy programme, funded by Arts Council England. Understanding the current pressures on cultural organisations, we’ve fixed prices for the third year running while continuing to deliver the same high-quality experience.
Course fees
Knowing how much pressure cultural organisations are under, we’ve held our fees for the third year in a row, the same price you would have paid in 2024. You get the same high-quality, transformative experience with no added financial strain.
The fees below cover participation in the full programme pre-course activities, 2 day residential (including meals and one night’s accommodation), online follow-up, two sessions of 1:1 mentoring, and six months of free access to the Cultural Enteprises Academy.
Fees vary according your organisation’s turnover in the last full financial year.
Turnover under £3.5m
£750
Turnover between £3.5m and £7m
£950
Turnover over £7m
£1,450
Financial assistance
An open bursary scheme operates, which can contribute to the cost of travel/transport, assisting with accommodation before or after the residential, and travel to/from Ashorne Hill.
If you would like to apply for bursary support, please complete the relevant section at the end of your application form. Please note we can only offer bursaries to a few participants.
All prices are subject to VAT at 20%.
The fee includes one night’s accommodation, lunch on both days, and dinner in the evening of the first day, as well as refreshments.
The programme will begin at 10.30am on the first day, to allow time for those who wish to travel on the day to arrive. Alternatively, for added peace of mind participants can arrive the day before, staying an extra night’s B&B by booking directly with the Ashorne Hill.
