The fastest response I have ever received from an initial email.

I used your Email Formula from today's Fundraisers' University training and within two hours I received what I can only say has been the fastest response I've received to date from an initial email. I am won over!

The specific roadmaps have enhanced the way I do my work and directly led to success!

The specific roadmaps that were provided in Fundraisers’ University have enhanced the way I do my work and directly led to success! Starting out, I often had questions about how to structure an email to elicit a response, or even how to direct a conversation to talk about gifts. Both of these examples were covered in the training, and after putting the lessons to use I received a higher response rate and was able to more naturally shift conversations to talk about a gift the donor can make.

Leadership skills specifically for fundraising managers.

Leading fundraisers while fundraising is hard! Managers get coached to become great coaches, learn a framework for giving clear, kind feedback, and take away practical advice to both empower their fundraisers and achieve their own fundraising success.

All of us joined looking to answer the same question: “How can I be the best manager for my team?” After the four sessions, I can confidently say that we were able to answer that question.

What I found so special about Management Mastermind was the camaraderie gained among fundraising peers across the country who are navigating very similar waters. All of us joined the program looking to answer the same question: “How can I be the best manager for my team?” After the four sessions, I can confidently say that we were able to answer that question. We learned the importance of creating a culture that encourages high productivity and radical ownership as well as practices to implement and retain “heck yes” employees.

Culture-building and change management for Advancement teams.

Culture doesn’t just happen to you. You build it every single day. Advancement team members decide together who they want to be, how they want to show up, and how they want their teammates to show up to create their own unique culture and manage inevitable change.

Thoughtful, skillful and inclusive approach to change management.

Our team has been tested and tackled significant adversity over the last year, but we have come out on the other side and are better, more productive, and enjoying an enriched culture thanks to Generous Change. We are grateful for their thoughtful, skillful and inclusive approach to change management.

Actionable fundraising skills for academic leaders.

Campus partners learn to translate academic initiatives into impact. They understand and speak to donor motivation. They view development partners as trusted consultants.

Our Deans and University Leaders were so engaged, and I truly think Academic Leaders' Roundtable was the perfect launching point as we head into a campaign.

By far the best professional development from an outside provider that I've experienced in 18 years here.

This was by far the best professional development engagement from an outside provider that I've experienced in 18 years here. Jenna is a phenomenal presenter and facilitator, and I found the sessions incredibly helpful, engaging, and well-constructed.

Campaign preparation to help fundraisers strategically own your campaign.

Campaign shouldn’t happen to staff. They should own it. Fundraisers decide together what stories will demonstrate impact, where to find them, how to translate them to donors, and how to celebrate along the way.

Truly a game-changer!

Generous Change's Campaign Bootcamp was a fantastic experience. The insightful sessions and practical tools provided have equipped the Vanderbilt development team with the skills and inspiration needed to drive success in our fundraising efforts. Truly a game-changer!
