This is the module 2 discussion thread. You may participate in this thread after you have begun module 2.
Congratulations! If you are participating in this discussion thread, you have nearly completed this short introductory course.
In the past two modules, you have been introduced to the basic topics of fundraising. Hopefully, however, this is just the start of your fundraising journey.
Reflect for a few minutes on what you will do next to grow as a fundraiser. What actions will you take in the next month?
Example posts:
1. In the next month, I will take one of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies.
2. In the next month, I will identify five possible donors.
After taking this introductory course, I feel deeply motivated to fundraise more effectively in future.
The information received was informative and useful

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.
Course which I took helped me to understand more about Fundraising and I am determined to take next level of the Fundraising course..
This Course is very useful to me, I was looking for this kind of opportunity to teach me more about Fundraising
In the next month, I will take one of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies.
After taking this course, I feel motivated to fundraise, the information this course is well received and understood. In the next month, I will try to identify possible donors and I will also take some of Tom Wolf's other courses in Philanthropy university.
My next step is to build on the relationships that I already have and to shift my focus away from only trying to get financial contributions. Many of my contacts to not have the means to give financially, but they may be able to support with in-kind donations.
I will now focus my story more based on donor's interests and will reach out potential donors. I will also strengthen my knowledge base by joining other courses by Tom.

I would enjoy to have Mr. Tom as my professor. his explanations are always clear and understandable. I enjoyed every part of this short experience and am looking forward on learning more and more. this little story about Andy was very interesting and got me understand the whole material even better.
I totally agree. Tom explains very well and I understand easily what he is talking about. I am not a native speaker, so his distinguished pronunciation helps a lot. And he also comes up with very effective examples
you are not the only one talking about that one. I probably might take it too. could be interesting!!
I am glad you feel good about the entire course @Dydy.
On behalf of the Philanthropy U, I say thank you so much for all the complements @Dydy.
In the next month, I will identify at least three donors and start a fundraising foundation where we will help fundraise organizations that are in line with our interest.
A good plan.
Kindly do well to intentionally carry out all you plan to do
Honestly, you are so correct.
I totally enjoyed every bit of his teaching.
He teaches with practical day-to-day example, just so you can you understand

The main thing here is to be intentional about making progress and doing as you have been taught or instructed
Such a laudable idea @NKECHIEJIMOFOR.
In the next month I plan to, do more training in the areas of fundraising, to prepare to take the fundraiser exam. I plan to sign up for more of PU trainings.

To be honest, firstly; I really don't know that what is the fundraising? but after I try to read documents from both modules so I can gain understanding. Thanks
After I finish this course, I can understand what is the fundraising., next step; I must try to encourage my colleagues to understand the objective of fundraising and how to be as a good fundraiser and why each department should think about the fundraising. The most importance, I must apply all points what I have learned from this course to my directorate general. Thanks
Last but not least, I really love this course because this course is as bright as for me on what is the fundraising. thanks
Thank you so much for value motivation of other colleagues who are from other place around the world
