OUR PROGRAM
The FundraisingPrep course is a 5 hour curriculum that is done to completion on a single Sunday each month. It follows the entire fundraising process; from making first contact to developing a lasting relationship, to securing the gift and growing their support for years to come.
This program will both teach or refresh you on the fundamentals, as well as give you hands-on practice for some of the "art" of the cultivation and solicitation. Plus, we have a dedicated session on "new best practices" as it relates to donor cultivation in the 21st century, utilizing new media communication, and ensuring transparency and efficiency with your mission and marketing. Something that you can't get out of a textbook.
