West Midlands Funders Network Annual Conference 2023 – 27th June 2023.

West Midlands Funders Network are pleased to invite you to their 2023 Annual Conference which is taking place, in person, on 27 June at MAC Birmingham. 

The unprecedented period between 2020 and 2022 during the global COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in swift and effective action from funders, the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) and wider stakeholders in response to the crisis.

As the pandemic years lengthened, the response changed from emergency to recovery. Funders forged various ways of delivering money and resources to communities quickly, through emergency grant making, swifter and flexible processes, and collaboration between funders and local organisations.

Considerable short-term funding programmes have developed to help communities through the extended recovery.

As the West Midlands continues to evolve following the pandemic, the implications of looming recession, a cost of living crisis, racial equity, climate emergency and rising inequalities continue to have a profound impact on the lives of those living and working in our region.

So, what does all of this mean for the future of funding? And where can long term, focused funding make a significant impact in the years ahead?

Join WMFN in June, to discuss all of this, and much more for the West Midlands Funders Network Annual Conference 2023.

We hope to see as many of you as possible at this Annual Conference, which promises to be an inspiring and insightful space to come together with peers and friends from across the Third Sector. Tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.
