Online fundraising courses for individuals and groups working for nonprofit organizations and charities
To be successful at raising money, you need to learn the practical skills and best practices to get your fundraising program off the ground. But you also need to learn how to think strategically, be flexible and build relationships.
One step at a time. We take the complexity out of fundraising by breaking material down into manageable steps.
In each course you will be provided with step-by-step instructions and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions if you get stuck.
All learning opportunities are interactive, complete with question and answer opportunities, group calls or 1:1 instructor mentorship so that you get the attention you need to succeed.
We encourage experimentation, this is the Fundraising Lab after all! But what we want most is for you to learn the fundraising fundamentals, so that when it comes time, you can break the rules intelligently.
We're passionate about embarking on a shared learning journey - we're all in this together! Learn from the experiences and challenges of other fundraisers as you progress through your course together.
All of the material and approaches shared in our courses have been developed and tested through decades of front-line fundraising and teaching in colleges and universities.
Our innovative approach to teaching ensures you are prepared for the challenges fundraisers face today.
