Quotes from former learners when asked:
"What was best things about the overall Fundraising Academy?"
The best things about the Fundraising Academy were having peers and creating a community to collaborate, being exposed to experts that we could ask specific questions to as well as being taught information in a new way.
I have a much deeper appreciation for the subject of fundraising, including the multiple ways to go about it, and how it can be made to be fun!
I have learned so much. I think this was the BEST training I’ve attended.
The course has been important to our organization because it has equipped me with essential fundraising knowledge that we continue to apply (i.e. logic models, strategic planning, budgeting, branding, donor stewardship, etc.).
The short-term impact of participating in the Fundraising Academy has been writing a grant proposal, introducing logic models to my team, and broadening my passion for fund development
The Fundraising Academy has strengthened my foundational knowledge of fund development and is the door to my success and the success of my organization. I anticipate the long-term impact of my participation in the Fundraising Academy to be increased donations, community awareness, and capacity to serve our clients.
