Course Overview

Every philanthropic endeavour depends on the success of the funds raised. The problem is, raising money is neither an art nor a science, essentially, it’s a process. Give yourself the edge in fundraising with our unique Philanthropy and Fundraising 4 Phase Process that if followed, will result in your ability to successfully raise funds.

This online training programme looks in detail at the historical and religious origins of philanthropy and how it has developed in the last century. It examines the coming intergenerational transfer of wealth and the different ways in which funds can be raised.

Reviews

Very useful to reflect on our current practices and where we can sharpen the focus. I like the verbal and written modes and the practical examples.

I think this course is excellent and I really enjoyed it. It’s way broader than fundraising and has some great ideas and tools about how one can navigate the professional world
