YTFN is a spin-off The Funding Network. It's launch took place on the 4th June at Cafe 1001, 1 Dray walk, 91 Brick Lane, London E1 which saw 3 charities bidding for cash and time with 3 great projects. It was a very succesful event to which 140 young professional came and collectively the evening raised £6000 for all 3 projects (£3000 more than each project had pitched for!) In the next few days, we'll be posting up photographs and comments following the event. Stay posted as we plan to hold another YTFN event (the first of many more) in October 2008
If you would like to be kept informed about future developments then please email the YTFN team youthtfn@gmail.com or call 020 7243 0667.
YTFN is a new approach to giving
to charity! Instead of asking you to donate to a random charity
and not telling you where your money's going, we invite charities
to pitch specific projects which they require funding for. Then
you, and everyone at the event, can donate towards the project
and help the charity reach its fundraising goal. It will be a
truly rewarding event and will also include a stand of Fairtrade
& ethical products, performers and DJs.
