Bereavement training for fundraisers

Updated 
18 August 2022

How to support and communicate with bereaved donors.

Day after day, fundraisers are tasked with engaging with and helping donors who want to support their charity after a significant bereavement.

Few, if any, fundraisers have received any specific training or support to deliver this challenging role, yet they are expected to provide high levels of stewardship to potentially distressed and vulnerable people.

MuchLoved's online training sessions are run throughout the year, by experts in bereavement support. Each three-hour session includes:

  • Why bereaved donors are vulnerable
  • How best to support and communicate with them
  • Building relationships with supporters motivated by in-memory giving and activities
  • How fundraisers can be resilient and look after themselves

Our next on-line bereavement training course is being held on Thursday, September 14th 2023
