This unit standard does not replace any other unit standard and is not replaced by any other unit standard. 

PURPOSE OF THE UNIT STANDARD 
The qualifying learner will be able to use the knowledge and skills as acquired through this unit standard to realise the potential of their chosen heritage practice field through being able to identify funding sources for projects, develop appropriate fundraising strategies and compile a funding proposal in alignment with a business plan in order to access these funds. 

LEARNING ASSUMED TO BE IN PLACE AND RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING 
Before commencing with this unit standard, the learner will need to have competencies to:
  • Complete mathematical calculations at level 3 using rules of addition, subtraction, division and multiplication
  • Process word documents on the computer
  • Use basic manual and computerised spreadsheets
  • Identify and evaluate marketing principles
  • Identify and develop business plans
  • Communicate in written form at NQF level 2 in one language and NQF Level 3 in another 
    		•

    UNIT STANDARD RANGE 
    Within the complexity of the various field specialisations as offered through the overall qualification, it is imperative that a wide range of funding organisations, covering a broad range of funding bases is covered. In addition, funding should also be explored along levels of private and public domains, as well as according to the different tiers of governance levels.

    Within financial planning, heritage personnel need to be aware of what type of funding bases are applicable. Investigations should thus encompass:
  • State funds, at national, provincial, regional or local authority levels.
  • Partial funding from self-generated or self-found funds.
  • Private sector funding

    A fundraising strategy involves the:
  • Targeting of potential funding sources.
  • The use of different media like campaign posters and pamphlets, newspapers, radio, television, the internet, events.
  • Planning of a media campaign and other fundraising events and activities into a time-frame.

    Budget design should take into account the fact that different funding bases look to fund different areas of operation and may require different formats.
