Frequently asked questions

Does the course cover fundraising for the initiative?

No. Fundraising in Qatar has its own regulations, and the course does not cover it. You design an initiative based on volunteer effort, and you carry it out with a licensed organisation if it needs one.

Will I carry out the initiative during the course?

You leave with a written initiative and a delivery plan. Carrying it out afterwards is your decision and your team's.

When does the course start, and what are the fees?

We will announce dates and fees when the first cohort opens. Register your interest and we will write to you when we do.
