Fundraising School is an immersive capacity-building program that helps leaders reduce their fears of fundraising, increase board engagement in fundraising, and improve their fundraising vision, strategies and systems.
Fundraising School is a virtual program that includes six half-day interactive webinars with homework assignments. Two staff (or a staff member and a Board Member) per organization should attend. While ideal for small/medium-sized nonprofits, this program can work for any size organization.
This will be the third time the Fundraising School is offered in SC. Past participants have developed special events, fundraising plans, technology systems for donor documentation, communication plans to current and potential donors, board of director engagement plans, and wrote a compelling case for support for their nonprofit. Participants raised more money, increased new donors, and secured recurring gifts over the course of the 6-week program. Using the strategies taught by this course, most participants also saw increased giving during Midlands Gives!
Tuition is $2,500 per organization. If accepted into the Fundraising School, CCCF would award a grant to the nonprofit to cover the program’s cost. Tuition covers two attendees. The organization would need to pay for additional attendees.
