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.
In the next month i will take more fundraising classes at Philanthropy University. I also printed all the blank documents and readiness sheet to present at my Board meeting next week.
This has been informative and set me up for a strong journey
I am excited to learn the ins and outs of fundraising
I enjoyed learning and feel motivated to apply my skills from this course
Amazing, fantastic and lovely course, Thank you
In the next month, I will take one of Tom Wolf's other Philanthropy University courses, Fundraising
This course really helped me understand certain aspects of fundraising I hadn't realised or acknowledged and I will input these into my current fundraising.
This is assisting me on how to get my BODs involved in fundraising with me as the chairman of the fundraising committee
As a result of this course , I now can properly identify the criteria of the prospect donors and how to find a strategic fit donor. also , I better understand different terms and when to use them in a conversation .
In the coming month, I will complete other courses on Fundraising: Connecting with Donors or Fundraising Strategies. as well as any other Philanthropy University courses I consider relevant to my overall objective.
I surely have a better understanding of fund raising and how everything is not about raising funds but establishing connections and creating network.
I liked this short course and I would love to continue another 2 courses.
i will take a lot of courses from philanthropy courses related to fundraising, and project managment
In the next month, I will identify three possible individual donors and 5 possible foundations. I will also be participating in another course by Tom as I found this one to be very helpful!
In the next month I plan to graduate from an event management program via college, I'd like to pursue the marketing aspect of the course and possibly work with a non-profit
In the next month, I will identify the Project to be funded and after looking for donors
thank you for all , the course was very interresting and useful
These modules challenged my capacity to do fundraising but, most importantly, triggered my desire to grow my knowledge in the field of fundraising, which i will do in the next month through taking on more fundraising courses
In the next five months, I will complete the full fundraising course and complete an internship.
This course was more of a refresher for me and it reenergized me to build my organizations individual donor program.
Great learning in Module 2.
This course has been one of the best i have ever had. i learnt a lot according the fundraising and it will help my organisation to foster its missions
This was more than I thought I would gain. Donor mapping is essential, and doing a strategic fit with each donor can save so much time and support a targeted fundraising strategy. This has been amazing to learn.
After taking this course, I will put to practice the information received to grow my organization and be a neeter fund raiser.
I will definitely take on more courses.
In the next month, I would like to identify 5 prospective donors and invest more time on creating a warm connection with the community.
Yes. Got clarity about fundamental topics.
I can now set up my organization to be legally funded and I know how to ask for funds. Before this course, I could only ask for specific funds, but now I know, I should as for general support. Thank you
I plan to take more courses on fundraising with Philanthropy U.
I'll be more confident in meeting with a donor and explaining the purpose of the organization.
In the comming month i will take the second course on fund raising and learn more about grant and proposal writing. Also, i will try identify potential donor in my community and beging planning for my own NGO.
Now I feel motivated to join the other courses of fundraising
In the next I will not procrastinate. I will submit my funding proposals to the 3 possible 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 redesign my strategic plans to network deeper into my service community and nonprofit community
This is a satisfying program
Congratulations and good job on your team building
i will boost my confidence with more courses
good job
This introductory course has equipped me with valuable insights into conducting effective fundraising. Over the next month, I plan to collaborate closely with my organization's staff to identify potential stakeholders and craft a compelling fundraising proposal.
I am now well learned to start fundraising for our organization.
In the next month, I will take several actions to grow as a fundraiser:
Educational Resources: I will dedicate time to studying educational resources such as books, articles, and online courses on fundraising strategies, donor psychology, and effective communication techniques.
Networking: I will actively seek opportunities to network with experienced fundraisers, attend industry events, and participate in online forums or communities to exchange ideas, learn from others' experiences, and build valuable connections.
Skill Development: I will identify specific areas for skill development, such as donor stewardship, grant writing, or event planning, and seek out opportunities to enhance my expertise through practice, workshops, or mentorship.
Practical Experience: I will actively seek out opportunities to apply my newfound knowledge and skills in real-world fundraising scenarios, whether through volunteering for fundraising campaigns, assisting with donor outreach efforts, or participating in fundraising events.
Reflection and Evaluation: I will regularly reflect on my experiences, successes, and challenges as a fundraiser, and evaluate my progress towards achieving my goals. By identifying areas for improvement and adjusting my strategies accordingly, I will continue to evolve and grow in my role.
By taking these actions, I aim to deepen my understanding of fundraising principles, expand my professional network, and develop the practical skills and experience necessary to excel as a fundraiser.
The next month, we will update our technology and all following materials describing our organization.
During this month, as well as in July and August, I will prioritize those who have contributed to and those who are closely associated with the NGO I work with. I will communicate the work, mission, and progress to those close to the organization. It is essential that the Board Members are well-informed about the organization's motivation, mission, vision, and related activities.
I believe it is not burdensome to engage with new people or strengthen existing connections. It is crucial that they are well-versed in the organization's details so that they can confidently discuss Console Mission with individuals and other organizations without hesitation or doubt.
In the next couple weeks and months to come, I plan on taking more courses to further my education and understanding in fundraising and philanthropic work. These courses include grant writing, advocacy and more in-depth courses specific to philanthropy.
This particular course provided clear instruction on getting started with fundraising and creating strong relationships with potential donors.
The information received was informative and useful
Great course. After taking this introductory course, I feel deeply motivated to fundraise more effectively in future.
In the next month, I will learn all of our annual donors and the donors that have given in the past year.
