Get started in February 2026.

Your goals are always growing. Is your team?

In Fundraisers’ University, your team will find new ideas, simple systems and tactical tools they can use right away to get in more doors, have more powerful conversations and get to the ask faster.

Over 4 weeks, your team will watch short, memorable (unapologetically nerdy) videos to fortify the skills they need to succeed today.

Each week, you’ll join us live on Zoom for one hour. Your team will get their questions answered, dig deeper in discussions with one another and get the support they need for the challenges they're facing right now.

Live trainings are scheduled for every Tuesday morning in February from 10:30-11:30am CT:

• Get in the Door: Tuesday, February 3

• Have Powerful Conversations: Tuesday, February 10

• Get to the Ask: Tuesday, February 20

• Make a Plan to Succeed: Tuesday, February 24

The curriculum includes videos and one-hour live sessions to support your most critical challenges:

GET IN THE DOOR.

- Get more email replies.
- Make more and more effective cold calls.
-Be persistent.
- Turn the conversation to money.

HAVE POWERFUL CONVERSATIONS.

- Ask great questions to uncover donors' interests.
- Connect donors' interests to your university.

GET TO THE ASK FASTER.

- Keep the conversation going in-between visits.
- Learn a key component of the gift in every conversation.

MAKE A PLAN TO SUCCEED.

If you can't make it to the live trainings, you'll have access to the recordings so you can catch up later.

Downloadable worksheets, frameworks and checklists make it easy for fundraisers to implement these new skills and revisit them again and again.
