I will use all of this knowledge to enhance the search, identification and approach to possible donors for our foundraising event during GivingTuesday.
After taking the Introduction To Fundraising course, I will definitely try to complete the other two courses. Very valuable stuff!
It will greatly help me with engagement in fundraising
The course has been amazing and eye opening. Thank you for all the resources.
In the period of a month I will have a one-on-one discussion with five major donors on the best approach and better interventions to challenges affecting the local community in Uganda.
The course gave me the zeal to fundraise and identify possible donors as well as appreciating everyone role how ever small it can be.
After taking this course, I am excited to take more fundraising courses to further my development. This has been a great intro to fundraising and I can't wait to learn more.
In the next month, I am creating and a executing a strategic plan for Christmas fund raising towards feeding the underserved families in the Aboru community of Iyana-ipaja area in Lagos, Nigeria
In the next months I will need to finalize the strategic plan.
I will need to find a volunteer to assist with fundraising, this would include developing prospect list.
After taking this course I am looking forward to completing the other 2 courses by Tom Wolf as he is very knowledgeable and engaging in his podcasts and lectures.
steps to fundraising are an important aspect to be considered by any organization.
I agree that it was useful. I learned things that I didn't know before. I am excited to keep going!
It was a wonderful course. I learned a lot of new terminologies and ideas about fundraising.
I heard of the terms before but did not know their importance. A big thank you to Philanthropy University.
I learned some useful information and feel like this course is worth continuing.
In the next month, I will take another of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University Courses, probably Fundraising: Connecting with Donors.
In the next month, I will meet with our Head of School to make a Fundraising plan for the spring semester, leading up to our Fundraising Gala in May.
One goal of mine as I grow as a fundraiser is to have a better understanding overall on how to interact with donors, especially when in a one-on-one situation. I am going to continue my professional development by continuing these courses.
Hi everyone! I'm currently soaking up all of the info I can on building a successful new non profit concept that is a new concept altogether, and is designed to raise recurring funds for other non profits. Good luck to everyone.

Personally, I found the material quite useful and applicable.

I am looking forward to learning more about fundraising by taking more courses and looking at these concepts through the scope of my organization.
j'aime bien ce cours
I learnt a lot more about how to source for funders and who to look at for.

I will work on the readiness for fundraising checklist with our volunteers and board members and staff
I will reflect on the knowledge and skills acquired to effectively engage in fundraising initiatives
In the next month,I will take Tom Wolf's course to identify prospective donors for my organization.
In my future career in the non-profit world, I will keep in mind the lessons from this course if I ever need to identify possible donors
Thanks for this show term virtual class
Not next month but Next day I will work on more fundraising and how to communicate with donors so as I amend in our organizations I have to learn more about the NGO too
Well I am goint to take the next part of the given specialization as soon as it is possible. I haven't imagine that foundraising is such a deep and professional area before.
Hello! For sure would like to take other two courses in the given specialization. Sometimes the tasks seem strange, but ok for understanding.
this has given me the foundations I need to start fundraising activities in my organizational but first I will move on ahead to the final modules of this course to understand more. very interesting.

After this course I will move on to take more fundraising courses, through PhilanthropyU. I plan to continue on the course of fundraising and development and take courses that are in line with those ventures.
Thanks very much our instructor for taking us through this journey.
Gradually i am discovering why I struggle to raise fund. As I learn, I put in place plan fill fill my gaps and strategically prepares for take off into fund raising. I am pretty sure i do something better After completing this specialized courses.

The course is brief yet it touches on the essential topics of fundraising. I am quite happy with the modality of this short course. It is, in my opinion, quite an effective way for busy professionals or casual learners to quickly learn or brush up their knowledge on the topic.
Next step is to take Wolf other courses on fundraising strategy and search for donors
Looking for a partner.
Looking for a partner.
In the next month I will take the Welcome to Fundraising: Connecting with Donors & Welcome to Fundraising Strategies Modules. Also, I will be making an internal mobility to the Philanthropy team within the next month.
After taking this introductory course, I feel deeply motivated to fundraise more effectively in future.
This is a very important course. I understand what I should improve in my project to get more funding.
I feel the same way too. This course has given me some motivation to do more for our fundraising strategy
This information helped to better my understanding one how to properly fundraise.
I will use the information that I learned in this course and apply it to other trainings that I will complete to help me with my job.
The modules have give me the insights and confidence to walk on the path of community development. Now, one of the worries has been subsided and I'm committed for the cause.
After this introduction to fundraising, I can't wait to learn more about fundraising strategies. This introduction and that are relevant to the day to day running of organizations. Thanks for the courses
I was able to make a checklist of deliverables for my fundraising campaign
. I will utilize the expertise and exposure that I would have gained from Tom l to impact, motivate and invest in the growth and development of others in my community.
I really appreciated the checklist for "readiness" of fundraising. The next steps are to do what's necessary to turn the not sure and no responses into yes. This will probably be an annual assessment as new donors/stakeholders are identified. I will also plan to identify potential donors within my network and create some kind of informational brochure/materials to share with those interested.
I agree. I didn't realize how much I already knew about fundraising just from being a part of the nonprofit sector for so long. The course really helped to build my confidence by acknowledging the information and skills I already have along with new information to support it.
This course was an eye opener for me, kind of like conversation cards where it asks you all the right questions and aids you in answering them. What helped me in learning was creating scenarios of how I would apply what was being taught to my organization. It taught me to see and debunked some myths I thought were true. Moving forward, I am going to do more research on donors to figure out if they are potentials or not.
In fact this Course is very useful to me, I am looking for more of such learning opportunities here on Fundraising
indeed I share the same sentiment; I have learned a lot. thanks to the course organisers
Overall, I enjoyed this course. I plan to finish the remaining courses in the fundraising specialization.
Everything is fine! The course is positive
Everything is fine! The course is positive
Everything is fine! The course is positive
the next steps i will take are to continue my formation on fundraising, and identify at least 3 possible donors
Thank you PhilanthropyU and Tom Wolfe for the wonderful course. In the next month, I look forward to completing the fundraising specialisation and share my experience, knowledge, lessons learnt with my colleagues at office.
Thank you Tom for making me understand the importance of donor insights and how this is more important than talking about my own organization.
I will definitely be taking the next course in the series, and I will be speaking to the rest of our team about what I've learned through this program.
After this introductory modules I feel lilke being more involed in fund raising as I untersdand key concepts. At the same time I want to learn more.
The lesson was awesome!
