See What People Are Saying About the Essentials of Fundraising Program!

Starting and Growing A Development Program

"I learned practical ideas for implementing in my organization."

"The instructor was so great at answering questions as we went through the materials. The time to network was also a bonus."

"Excellent foundational "Real World" overview of the process of fundraising, core components, philosophy, etc."

"It built the conceptual structure of what fundraising is and generally, which skills & behaviors build a successful fundraising program."

Writing Your Case for Support

"Chance to develop statements and receive feedback from peers and the instructor were very beneficial."

"I enjoyed writing an actual case for support, putting what we learned to the test."

"Helping me to think differently about my organization and how to present it will help my organization in the future."

Annual Giving

"Being new to fundraising outside the political arena, this course was SO HELPFUL for me. I cannot even tell you how many new ideas I had after leaving. I came back to my office, erased all my to-do's on the white board, and started from scratch. And what I ended up with was a cleaner, much more efficient and targeted plan for myself over the next couple of weeks. "

"The ability to actually work on my plan was superb. It makes it so easy to justify a day "out of the office" It was all so practical!"

"Breaking down annual giving into component parts helped me learn, and was beneficial to me."
