Today’s nonprofits face numerous challenges in securing the financial resources needed to achieve their missions and make a positive impact in their communities.
From changing donor priorities to increased competition for funding, nonprofits must navigate a complex landscape of fundraising methods and strategies in order to be successful. In this course, we equip participants with the knowledge and skills they need to develop effective fundraising strategies and write winning proposals that meet the evolving needs of donors and nonprofits.
The course material is a combination of notes, videos, interactive quizzes and polls, practical assignments (submitted), and templates for practice/use at work.
