The Development Department is the fundraising function of the National. Its aim is to raise voluntary funds for the theatre from individuals, corporations and charitable trusts and foundations.
The Department consists of thirty three staff split across the three main sectors outlined above, with a dedicated Events team. There are recognised overlaps between the three sectors which call for the Department to work closely as an integrated team. The Department also works with a Development Council of senior external fundraising volunteers, chaired by Elizabeth Offord.
