Structure
This program features two tracks, one for emerging fundraisers who are just starting out in the development field and a second for advanced fundraisers, those who have done this work for several years.
Each cohort has a customized curriculum that addresses where they are in their professional career. However, we know the power of peer-to-peer learning, so the two cohorts also have the opportunity to meet and work together as well. To learn more about how we accomplish this, view the schedule and syllabus below.
Schedules
Online Self-Paced Learning
- Each month, participants will receive links to high-quality training resources to prepare them for upcoming training and reinforce concepts previously taught. Some of these are required while others are elective. No required self-paced learning will exceed three hours of work a month. These resources are included in the cost of the program.
