Is this training for you?

This training is for fundraisers and organizations that want to be a step ahead of others, and that have a dream needing funding rather than a fully crystallised project proposal.

Proactive fundraising will bring you predictable income streams, long-term funding relationships with donors, diversified funding, and a more positive team.

The Art of Proactive Fundraising works for all types of organizations that have a longer term vision. Size, location and topic are less relevant. What matters more is your mindset and your willingness to build strong relationships with donors.

Content

In this four-session interactive training, we’ll help you become a more proactive fundraiser. Proactive fundraisers don’t just wait for calls to open, they create funding opportunities and significantly increase their chances of success. More importantly, they don’t see donors only as funders, but as partners in achieving shared goals.

This is not a training you can sit back and watch. Come ready to work.

By the end of the course, you will be able to assess when a proactive fundraising approach works best, build strong relationships with foundations and institutional donors, and develop partnerships that go beyond a single grant or funding cycle.
