The session is so inspiring. It opened my eyes to why donors are not donating to my program.
I run RAD5 Tech Hub, a profit-based organization - Our mission is to actively promote the economic growth of Africa through technology education and entreprenuership that is consistent, scale-able, affordable, and accessible to over 20 million young persons within the Niger Delta and Southeast Nigeria. In 5years we have reached over 1 thousand youths.
We run more of social impact projects like TeenHack - https://teenhack.org.ng but have never gotten a support though it appeals to users.
after this i am very interested in taking one of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies.
We will create a list of potential donors that are a good fit and send them an introductory email and next month we will follow up with phone calls if dont get a reponse.

great idea! ill follow up with the other courses as well.
Definitely sitting down with my team as well to create new strategies.
This has been an interesting course, and definitely an eye opener. What I will do differently are: having a structured accountability pattern for my organization, which would be valuable at the next fundraiser we would have. This fundraiser would only attract donors whom we consider are a good strategic fit for our organization and the work we do.
nice day!
The information I received is very helpful and instructive. If I'm asked to help out in the fundraising department I feel that I am now much better suited for the job.
@XLR8R, I am glad and pleased you feel this way as of now. Do well to spread the knowledge acquired from the course to the world.
@PraiseAdeyemo, we wish you all the best in your endeavor. And congratulations for completing the course successfully.
@goldenayacorp, that is a laudable endeavor. We wish you well in all the activities to help you achieve even more than you envisaged.
@oloche20, we wish you all the best in your endeavor.
@nacojohn, may you not give up in your philanthropic activities. We wish you well and hope you end up impacting even more than the number of people envisaged.
@Mhizola, we wish you well in the acquisition of knowledge from the PhilanthropyU school.
This has been an impactful introductory session which has given me the zeal to study further and to become a professional fundraiser for my organization and beyond.
These tools have been quite helpful. They are well explained in a simple manner.
In the next few weeks I will actually go ahead and read / listen to the suggested complementary material and then go on to the next fundraising course within the specialization. Thank you.
Actions I will take immediately:
I feel that the course helped me understand the more intricate details of starting and running a fundraising organization.
We wish you well in your endeavor @rethzky.
I am glad you acquired so much from the course @roncryer.
After this course, I feel more confident in supporting the organization that I'm interning with in fundraising. I hope I will be better able to identify donors who are a strategic fit.
My next goal will be to continue with the relevant courses and to put into practice what I have learnt so far.
I will take more specific courses about fundraising but also this course was an eye opener in so many aspects.

In the next month i will be able to identify potential donors , and i now know the 7 myths associated with fundraising
The introduction to fundraising was clear and succinct. I has made me understand that the effort will be great but rewarding. I'll keep going with the next modules and look for more resources.
The knowledge gained will be helpful, I want to continue with further learning and hopefully acquire a deeper understanding of fundraising
I am now aware that the board members should be activated as well during fundraising.
The next step is as well, to continue with the following course on fundraising.
The next step is to attend the Fundraising: Connecting with Donors .
The module is timely-efficient and easy to follow. The theory coming alongside with real case study helps more on understanding terminologies and jargons in fundraising world. Further exploration of the topic is a definite step to achieve a solid understanding.
This class was very useful to learn the right terminology and to identify potential strategic fit for organizations. In the newt month, I will try to identify as many potential donors as possible for my organizations.
this course gives us a sense of confidence and support in the fundraising activity
Through this Course, I am improving my knowledge of safe and effective strategies to start a new successful fundraising journey for my Organization with an effective result.
I hope to learn more about fundraising, and to have close contact, not only with the UNIVERSITY OF PHILANTHROPY through the Courses, but also to get a connection with donors and experience in fundraising strategies.

While I was aware mostly through practice on what is taught in this course, the 2 modules really helped me to learn the process of fund raising & also learn in a structured manner about the subject at length.
I too am looking forward to following some more courses. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to learn.
After taking this course," Introduction to fundraising." I am now more confident to properly prepare, review our organization strategic fit and relate it to the donor's. More motivated to undergoing more courses under fundraising strategies with philanthropy university.

To grow as a fundraiser I will complete the Fundraising specialization. I do also need to set a meeting with executive director and co-workers to define what's the next step to set our fundraising plan for 2021.

Hello, my name is Sáibo Nahoye. Technician of Sanitary Statistics and Information Systems Manager, work for a non-profit organization. I'm here to learn more and develop my skills in fundraising and connecting with donors.
In the next month, I will be taking the other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising: Connecting with Donors and Fundraising Strategies.
After such a helpful introduction, identifying potential donors and knowing how to effectively connect with them is capital. Then earmarking strategies to deal with with the ultimate aim to secure funding seem appealing as next steps after this brief introduction.
It's a great introduction to fundraising.
in the next month, I will start sampling my potential donors
In the next month, I will take one of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies.
In the next month, I will evaluate how we vet potential donors and be more aware of finding the right fit for the organization, instead of spending so much time just asking everyone.
I will keep an updated checklist of all potential donors that I have mapped
I will map out or donors that have strategic fit with our organization
In the next couple of weeks, I will start reaching out to the potential donors that I identified through our mapping exercise.
Me too! I am loving the journey so far. I have already enrolled in the the other 2 courses to deepen my knowledge and got in touch with a couple of people in my country that already have experience in the subject to join forces in my project. My organization is only starting but I am confident that with a plan, clear vision and choosing the right people for it I will be able to start fundraising in the next couple of months.
I am already perfecting my worksheets cause they help me have a clearer picture of where I am standing at the moment and the gap I need to close in order to achieve my goal.
This course is superb I could easily identify my strengths and weaknesses

Based on this course on Fundraising, in the next month or the next step in my career as M&E I would like to take part in every steps of proposal writing and fundraising to make sure I apply what I have learnt from this course, which I do believe will have a significant impact to win donors.
I believe I'm fully equipped with the appropriate strategies and information to start fundraising.

After taking this course, I might start thinking more carefully about what great resources our families, friends, and even general acquaintaces can be. Having a network of people is really important, in every sector. I will also try to identify new potential donors for our organization.
That's a proactive strategy! Great
Some great propositions! Very nice to read about it
That is great
This course has given me great milestone towards fundraising activities. I have gained insurmountable knowledge, which I will apply to further my organization as well as partner organizations
Sure this is the important session to make sure that each and everyone in the organization has enough knowledge and takes part in fundraising activities
Very useful information received from this course, as it gives me the foundation to kickstart my fundraising journey. Since am a newbie, i would definitely register to the next courses with Philanthropy University.
Next month I will convene a meeting with our staff to strategize on how best we can fundraise for the organization
Module 1 gave an idea of how vast could I make my funder network and Module 2 strengthen the need for donor alignment. These have given me the confidence to create a strong base for my outreach strategy, which I'm currently pursuing. Next steps will be how to customise my pitches with large CSRs.
Very useful information have I received concerning fundraising. I can now start raising fund for my organization.
I will take connecting to donors course to be more endowed with fundraising.
