Far too often organizations see donors through the distorted lens of retention rates and giving capacity. When it comes to fundraising, organizations must remember that donor relationships are a two-way street. The best fundraisers engage their donors in a multitude of ways: they build relationships, identify common interests, listen, and show gratitude.
Through this free, online fundraising course, students will learn the ins and outs of connecting with donors from a seasoned fundraiser. The course will show successes and reveal failures that will expose the nuances of effective fundraising practices. Learners will apply the knowledge and stories learned from the fundraising training course to the practices of their own organizations' development teams.
This course is valuable for those looking for fundraising training for nonprofits, NGOs, and other mission-driven organizations. In order to ensure your success in this course, you should have a basic background in fundraising or should have already completed Philanthropy University’s Introduction to Fundraising course.
