Bursary applications are now open for the 2026 Cymru Fundraising Conference. Taking place at the Leonardo Hotel, Cardiff, on Wednesday 18 November, the conference is offering seven bursary places.


The Caryl Angharad Lee-Jones Learning Bursary

We feel honoured to offer four successful bursary applicants an opportunity to enjoy a complimentary place at this year’s conference, in memory of our friend and colleague Caryl Angharad Lee-Jones.

Caryl was a brilliant marketer, creative thinker and passionate advocate for the causes and organisations she worked for. Through her work with us at the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and Remember A Charity, she helped charities tell their stories, reach new audiences, and inspire support for causes that change lives. She was fiercely proud of Wales and the Welsh language and cared deeply about her community.

The Learning Bursary in Caryl’s name is aimed at supporting greater access to learning and professional development for fundraisers.

 


CIOF Cymru Fundraising Committee Bursary

An additional three applicants will be granted a bursary courtesy of the volunteer-led CIOF Cymru Fundraising Committee who are hosting the conference.  These bursaries help to reduce barriers to participation and are an investment in the development of the Welsh fundraising community.


Bursaries do not include travel expenses. The deadline for all bursary applications is Wednesday 30 September at 5pm.
