Trusts and foundations fundraising is increasingly about building long-term partnerships, not simply securing the next grant. This session explores how fundraisers can move beyond annual application cycles to create structured, relationship-led programs that generate sustainable funding and greater impact. Drawing on practical experience growing a strong trusts and foundations portfolio in medical research, Taylor will share approaches to identifying and cultivating funder relationships, securing multi-year support, strengthening stewardship, and positioning organisations for long-term investment. Attendees will gain practical tools to build stronger pipelines, increase funding retention, and create partnerships that support lasting outcomes for the communities and causes they serve.
