An introduction to fundraising for beginners, career changers, and everybody who wants to know what fundraising actually means and who wants to learn how to plan and implement strategic fundraising activities.
What we offer:
A highly professional fundraising is a must in the non-profit sector. Only this way NGOs and foundations can ensure that they will reliably have the means to implement their projects, their goals, and their mission in the long run.
The Corona crisis, declining donations, the ever-growing competition among NGOs, and the disappearing of public support make it necessary to be able to raise funds outside of the traditional channels. Many times the interest rates and membership fees are not sufficient anymore to ensure the successful implementation of projects. Thus, many organizations decide to start fundraising. The institutional readiness as well as the right mix are key factors that determine the success to link donors to the organization in the long term.
This online course is an introduction to fundraising for newcomers, career changes, volunteers, and anybody who wants to understand fundraising in its context and complexity.
