Hello everyone,

My name is Joseph Iorhile Abe and I'm joining this course from Nigeria, West Africa. I currently working in the nonprofit sector as a volunteer, specifically in program management for a local community organization. While I have little experience with fundraising, I'm excited to deepen my knowledge and skills in this area through this course.
My primary goal for this course is to gain a comprehensive understanding of fundraising strategies and techniques. I hope to learn effective methods for donor acquisition, retention, and stewardship. Additionally, I'm eager to explore the various fundraising channels, including online fundraising, events, and major gifts, and understand how to leverage them to meet organizational fundraising goals.

In my work, I plan to apply the knowledge and skills gained from this course to enhance our organization's fundraising efforts. This includes developing and implementing fundraising campaigns that resonate with our donor base, improving donor communication and engagement strategies, and maximizing fundraising opportunities to support our programs and initiatives.

I'm most excited to learn about donor psychology and behavior. Understanding what motivates donors to give, how to build meaningful relationships with them, and how to effectively communicate the impact of their contributions is essential for successful fundraising. I believe gaining insights into donor perspectives will greatly inform our fundraising strategies and help us better connect with our supporters.

I look forward to engaging with fellow learners in this course, sharing experiences and learning from each other's perspectives. Let's embark on this journey together to enhance our fundraising skills and make a positive impact in our respective organizations and communities.

Hi there, my name is Marjan and I am from Canada. I work in the Youth Employment Programs department for a non-profit organization. Because I work for a non-profit, my department relies heavily on receiving funding from outside sources. Although we have a fundraising department, it is very small with staff who are overwhelmed with the workload that they have. My goal is to learn about fundraising strategies so I can begin implementing them in my role and raising funds for my program since we are going into a deficit in our budget. I'm excited to be able to bring in funds so we can provide wrap-around supports to our youth participants who are facing barriers to accessing employment, mental health services, childcare, schooling, housing, etc.

Hello everyone, I am Robertson B. Davids from Liberia, West Africa. I work for the Center for Justice and Peace Studies, a non-governmental organization that is working to promotes and maintain peace here in Liberia, after a 14 year of devastating, unprofitable civil unrest in the country.
In this organization, I work as the monitoring, evaluation and learning-MEL officer, and program assistant.
Our work has four thematic areas that focus on issues of; Governance, Youth Abusing Drug and Harmful Substances, Growing Number of Street Children, and Sexual/Gender Based Violence, in the country.
My goal for this course is to acquire new acknowledge and skills that will enable me to help my organization that we will not always be waiting for call for proposal before we can run the organization. Over the time, this has affected us as an institution, where in when project ends, we will have nothing happening at the offices until after sometimes then we can get up again. All these are II it to be attributed to not have the requesite skill and knowledge to fundraise on our own as an entity, the basic skill, knowledge and connections are not there.
I am excited about this course because I see it as an opportunity to explore, I believe from here there will be a different at my entity in term of organization sustainability, considering what I read from the introductory phase of the course.
Looking unto meeting my expectation, as this is not my first time taking a course from Philanthropy U. I got my foundamental knowledge in M&E from right here, and now I am on the top in this subject.
Thanks for the services you keep rendering to the public.
