This workshop provides nonprofits with an overview of the fundraising landscape and walks you through the key components of an individual giving program. Registration is required. For adults.

A sustainable nonprofit organization has diversified funding streams, and individual donors can play an important role. If you or your organization is new to individual giving, this course is for you. We’ll provide you with an overview of the fundraising landscape and walk you through the key components of an individual giving program. 

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:  

Explain the importance of individual giving in a nonprofit fundraising strategy.  
Identify key steps for a successful individual giving program. 
Draft a plan to start or improve your annual individual giving program. 

This class is brought to you in partnership with Candid, a nonprofit that helps other nonprofits serve their communities. As a Candid partner, we offer Candid’s key tools, including education and Candid search.
