The program comprises 7 individual modules. Each module (and each corresponding workshop) will address a different area of fundraising and will be valuable for individuals seeking training in just that area.
Taken together the 7 modules will provide a comprehensive training program for small organisations who want to develop a diverse and effective fundraising program and ensure stability for their organisation.
Each module follows a similar structure:
- Intro to the topic
- Advantages and challenges of this type of fundraising
- Case studies
- Applying these strategies in smaller organisations
- Measuring success.
This structure invites participants to engage with areas of fundraising that they are not as familiar with and to understand it in the context of what fundraising they already do.
In addition to the 7 core modules the program includes a series of discussion/networking opportunities for all participants. Experience has shown us that fundraisers benefit from the opportunity to discuss their experiences with each other, ask questions and build relationships with others who are in similar roles.
These relationships last long after the program has been completed and is a key part of the participants professional development.
