After studying this course, I have placed myself in the driver's seat. What I will be working on is getting the right passengers onboard using the seven myths of fundraising .
I am glad to be here
I will defintely take more Tom Wolfs courses as well as identify some more donors.
The course has been very informative and practical. It has certainly proven that fundraising starts with having clarity on the mission (activity) which you wish to contribute to and motivation in supporting it. All this is within the reach of every person. Happy fundraising to everyone!
I will continue to grow in my fundraising education to further the goals of the organizations I work with.
Very useful information for future use
Over the next month, I plan to volunteer at a local nonprofit to get hands-on experience with their fundraising team. This will allow me to see the practical application of the techniques we've discussed in this course.
I've already scheduled two networking events in the upcoming weeks to connect with experienced fundraisers. I believe that learning from their experiences will greatly benefit my understanding and approach to fundraising.
After completing this course, I am more motivated than ever. My next step is to set up informational interviews with a few fundraising professionals in my network to gain deeper insights and potentially explore mentorship opportunities.
I've been inspired to create a small fundraising campaign for a cause close to my heart. Over the next month, I'll be brainstorming and planning the campaign, with the aim to launch it within the following two months.
To continue my learning journey, I've decided to subscribe to a few fundraising-related podcasts. This way, I can stay updated with the latest trends, success stories, and best practices in the world of fundraising.
I realize the importance of storytelling in fundraising, so I will be enrolling in a short storytelling workshop next month to improve my ability to connect with potential donors emotionally.
I'll be reaching out to a local charity to offer my newly-acquired skills on a volunteer basis. This will not only give me real-world experience but will also allow me to give back to the community.
In the coming month, I'm committed to reading at least two books on the subject of fundraising, to deepen my theoretical knowledge and complement what I've learned in this course.
I'll run a survey in my place of work to ascertain if my fellow co-workers know and understand our organizations mission and vision statement.
In the next few weeks I will focus on trying to come up with potential donor map that is a good fit to my organization
This is firstly i getting knowledge more about fundraising and I feel deeply motivated to fundraise more effectively in the short time. I hope can help our organization growth more huge and giving more much people.
The course is so helpfully, I know that its not every organization that can provide the needed funds but there is need for other things in common
In the next week I will go through the Eight Steps of effective fundraising by the Society for Nonprofits.
In the next two weeks I will revise the list of fundraiser's portfolio and will update it.
After completing this course i feel I have fundamentals of fundraising and I can help my organisation to get support in our programs.I fee. Appreciative for Tom wolf and entire Phylanthropy University.?..
every part of this lesson is educative, and i have learned much.
Indeed it is motivating and educative in every aspect of the training
i would prepare a list of donors, and finalize the strategy for approaching them
Indeed it is motivating and educative in every aspect of the training
The module was so informative. I have learnt new skills that will be so helpful to my organization in Fundraising
I'll be talking the other two courses.
In the next month, I will take atleast one more of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies.
2. In the next month, I will pursue my passion on Philanthropy for Sick Children in Need
This course was really helpful. I feel like I can effectively fundraise for my organization now.
I really appreciate having taken this course. It wasn't a waste of time. I have gathered some insight which will fashion new approaches on how I tackle resources bobilization generally.

The courage and motivation after taking this course is so overwhelming! Looking forward to identifying and bringing more donors on board.
The information received was informative and useful
In the next month I will write down a list of prospective donors and develop a list of fund raising ideas and start to put a plan in place to raise the money we need to succeed.
This course overall has provided me with the knowledge required to be able to reach out to donors in the most effective way possible, so I'm grateful for the opportunity.
I have gained so much through this course, looking forward to gaining more skills and information from Tom.
in the next months I'm going to check my potential donors if they fit for my organisation and will start to reach out to them.
After taking this module I have a better vision of who could be approached as a potential donor
I feel ready to take a more advanced course in fundraising, and hopefully this can help my career transition from programs to fundraising.
I will take the next course and will definitely apply the learnings to getting more donors onboard.
Having gone through this indepth training about how to fundraise i wont sit am the tomorrows fundraiser.
In months to come iam planning to go deeper in taking the courses related to fundraising to get better insights about fundraising and donor search engines.
In months to come iam planning to communicate more effectively with my social media circles we carry on te fundraising exercise.
In the next month I will continue and finish Tom Wolf's courses before actually starting to fundraise
I have the same feelings. Looking forward to start other Tom's courses
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 take one of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies.
In the coming few weeks I will try my best in identifying 3-5 potential donors who can donate for effective implementation of my work.developing fundraising check list is very important in organizing the fund raising campaign in well organized manner.
I am eager to take fund raising strategies course in the coming month.
all the ideas are intact
As someone trying to start an organization, I will enroll for another course on fundraising so that I can sharpen my fundraising skills further.
In the next one month, i will do the second course here - Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies.
I will equally identify possible donors in my community along with their areas of interest, even if it is not relevant to my own organization. it is good to know these things.
After taking the fundraising introductory course I feel so motivated. Thank you.
Being new to the game, I need much more information. Tom Wolf's courses are a great start and I think I will be expanding on that in the future. I also plan to get the leaders of my organization to commit to more sustainable sources of funding through lessons I have learned here.
The course bears very important pointers for raising funding and how to apply yourself crcitically.
This course has confirmed that I really want to help my organisation raise funds effectively. Over the next few days I'll be looking at how to identify crowdfunding platforms and donors.
In the next month I will take next fundraising course and will also try to identify 5 potential donors
After this magnificent training, I think I will finish Tenn Wolf's fundraising courses, and I could well meet ten potential donors for the cause of development.
Thanks to this course I am realizing how important fundraising could be in an organization and it's giving me motivation to start looking more deeply into ways of making it doable.
Certainly, this course is very effective for me in growing up with fundraising skills and knowledge. This understanding of fundraising will lead me to find possible donors for my leading youth forum.
I am really glad I took this course, in the next few months, I will make sure I start and complete all the fundraising courses on this platform so I can become an expert in fundraising and be able to utilize every bit of the knowledge learnt in my organization.
In the next 2 weeks, I will appoint my organization's fundraiser, and identify at least 3 prospective donors.
I am very grateful to Mr. Wolf for the insights. I have been on the fundraising space for a while now but after taking this course, I believe I am now better equipped to handle some of the challenges I have been grappling with for the longest time.
In the next month I will work towards identifying three possible donors within my area.
In the next month I plan to meet with community resources within my area to further my knowledge and understanding of how we can successfully partner within the community.
The information of this course wil be helpful as l begin my fundraising journey!!
This course gave me the opportunity to review our organization's attraction to get donations.
I'm really motivated
In the next month, I will:
Information about the type of sources and the different ways to use them in the organization was useful, as the need to identify the purpose and donor´s interest
THIS COURSE REALLY PREPARED ME TO START A SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY OF FUNDRAISING FOR MY ORGANIZATION , TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE I HAVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FUNDRAISING ,SO I ENROL IN OTHER PHILANTHROPY UNIVERSITY COURSES WHICH ARE CONNECTING TO DONORS AND FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES
i feel motivated after enrolling in this course.
I feel motivated to engage in the course that follows next week, I am now more aware of the need of being very conscious of my actions. In order for them to be purpose-driven and help improve the fundraising effort in my organization, I will set biweekly spaces to set goals and check if we are accomplishing them taking into account all the information learnt.
I'm enjoying taking the course
Based on this training, I'm highly motivated to find a donor on few months.
I will take another course paying attention to more fundraising strategies and donor mapping
In the next few months, I will focus on ensuring our staff are able to speak to the mission and vision of the organization so that they can be stewards of the same message. Donors for us can come in all shapes and sizes and we could capture more small level donation and engagement potentially on a daily basis if we engaged our front facing teams further.
I will practice what i have learnt from Tom next month. I will list more potential donors in my organization
Happy to add more knowledge to already existing ones. Thanks to Mr. Tom.

L'information était importante.
It is my honor to enroll in this course, and I was enlightened more about the world of fundraising. I could say that in the next project of my organization, I could implement more precise rules of work, and in fact, I enrolled in more courses in the field of fundraising. I think fundraising is not just soliciting for a cause; it's a vast field of study and working on the ground of philanthropy.
THIS COURSE REALLY PREPARED ME TO START A SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY OF FUNDRAISING FOR MY ORGANIZATION , TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE I HAVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FUNDRAISING . Which I hope to further do so on completion of this program
This is indeed a good start. Would be keen to look at various strategies to do the activity of fundraising with detailed plans and workflow
This is a great course to undertake
I learned a lot in this module, the final assesment was an eyeopener, there is a lot which need to be done at organizational level to make us ready to take our fundraising strategy to the next level. Our drawback is that our organisation is the implementing organization as well and we are located in an area where there is next to zero potential to make valuable potential donor relationships. (we are in Ethiopia) We are dependent on the western world but finding sustainable donors/partners is difficult.
In the next month, I will take the time to engage with donors more and allow them to tell me about their interests. This way, I can save time by gearing each conversation about our organization to their interests rather than spewing all the information possible about the organization.
In the next month, I will work with my Board of Directors to create a stakeholder analysis to influence and expand our donor outreach strategy. Our potential donor list has remained stagnant for multiple years but needs to expand to meet the growing needs of our organization. By having each Board Member complete the first worksheet, we can begin to target a larger pool.
On Saturday, we will have our first meeting. My goal is to organize the team:
I am sure every fund raising effort is challenging. Let's keep a positive attitude though and believe that we will find ways to overcome the challenges and raise the funds. That way, we open our minds and our teams to creative thoughts.
I agree with you. To do this, i need to reach out to many people to get to know them and establish easy rapport. Thank you for your idea
After taking this introductory course, more than ever I have been even more motivated into engaging all the course for fundraising.
Same feeling like I had after reading this course
I am quite sure every fund raising effort is challenging. Let's keep a positive attitude though and believe that we will find ways to overcome the challenges and raise the funds. That way, we open our minds and our teams to creative thoughts.
THIS COURSE REALLY PREPARED ME TO START A SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY OF FUNDRAISING FOR MY ORGANIZATION , TO BE MORE EFFECTIVE I HAVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT FUNDRAISING ,SO I ENROL IN OTHER PHILANTHROPY UNIVERSITY COURSES WHICH ARE CONNECTING TO DONORS AND FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES.
Such a a wonderful and eye opening course.
Similarly
Completely agreed
Likewise me
I'm quite encouraged
So far I have been able to understand the basis of fundraising, principles and terminologies. I have gotten to identify and know who my donor's could be, their interests and best way to approach them.
So before this year runs out, I would love to do a fundraising for my organisation outreach coming up later this year 2024.
I have a clearer understanding of fundraising principles; I believe I have the foundation to initiate a plan
After completing this course, I feel confident using the tools given to explore how we can improve our fundraising and make the most of the connections we already have.
This course was useful in introducing basic fundraising. It will be useful to see what the other topics on fundraising entail.
This is a very solid "next steps action plan". I share the same sentiments.
I will take more of Tom's courses by next month
I am definitely ready to start my fundraising journey. This course has simplified things for me. It is a perfect introduction to fundraising. I look forward to taking the other courses.
I was forced to take this course and to be honest didn't really learn anything. Although, I think is course is perfect for people who really are beginners in fundraising and need the basic knowledge.
