• Create impactful case statements that resonate with donors

• Harness the power of emotional intelligence for fundraising success

Our online course goes beyond traditional fundraising training. We believe that strong emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of successful fundraising. By incorporating self-awareness and empathy into the curriculum, we will empower students to build deeper connections with donors, manage stress effectively, and increase fundraising results. Leaning into best practices in adult learning, students will enjoy the flexibility of accessing online learning modules weekly on their own schedule. Learning will be further enriched through bi-weekly facilitated sessions with seasoned experts in the field. The program culminates in a collaborative capstone project, where students apply their newfound knowledge and receive real-time feedback from instructors.

Who Should Attend: This course is designed for nonprofit professionals at all levels, including development directors, grant writers, fundraising coordinators, and volunteers. Whether you’re new to the field or seeking to advance your career, Fundraising for a New Era will provide you with the tools and insights you need to gain confidence, feel accomplished and advance your career.
