This knowledge will help me create more compelling and engaging campaigns, ultimately leading to increased support for the causes I deeply care about.

Hi all! My name is Nick from Canada. I work for the YMCA in the Health, Fitness and Aquatics field where we facilitate in house programing at our local community/recreation centres. I am a manager for the building.

My goals for these courses are to support my ability to drive philanthropic initiatives. As working for a charity, fundraising and donor support has always been a part of my role, but outside of helping support a fundraising event, my knowledge and comfortability around donor relations and relation building has always been quite awkward or felt forced. I look forward to applying this coming into our next fundraising year of 2024.

How to better understand donor relations and build them. At times thanking a donor on behalf of a team that did all of the donor relations feels quite un authentic. I would like to learn to better support and build these relations myself to enhance our connection to our donors that allow us to do some amazing work.
