Let’s partner to give your entire team tactical tools to raise more money.

At less than the cost of a conference, the Fundraisers’ University Cohort is an affordable, inspiring, and wildly practical fundraising training. 

Twenty-year veterans and brand-new fundraisers leave with proven ways to consistently get in the door with more potential donors, have more confident, purposeful conversations, and make more strategic, ambitious asks.

Each week, we’ll come together on Zoom with Advancement professionals from across the country to dig deeper into effective discovery, powerful conversations, strategic cultivation, and productivity habits. 

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

Get in the Door: Tuesday, August 4
Have Powerful Conversations: Tuesday, August 11
Get to the Ask: Tuesday, August 18
Make a Plan to Succeed: Tuesday, August 25

The curriculum includes nine short, tactical, unapologetically nerdy videos and downloadable resources to build in accountability and help your team immediately instill new habits.

Your team will gain practical, actionable tools 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.
- Embrace your philanthropic advisor-ness.
- Have purposeful discovery conversations the end with next steps.

GET TO THE ASK FASTER.

- Keep the conversation going in-between visits.
- Learn a key component of the gift in every conversation.
- Improve your close rate.
- Craft strategic cultivation plans for top prospects.

MAKE A PLAN TO SUCCEED.

- Create daily habits to qualify new major gift donors each year and cultivate current potential donors.
- Capture substantive conversations and gift strategies.
- Manage your time and energy.
- Celebrate!

If a team member can't make it to a live training, they'll have access to the recordings so they can catch up later.

We can't wait to see you in the Fundraisers' University Cohort!
