Fundraising is Hard.
It’s even more challenging because most development professionals are given little to no training and expected to bring in big dollars fast. We get it. Our online training programs are both synchronous and asynchronous to accommodate different learning styles.
We believe in keeping costs low because we’ve been in our clients’ shoes with no training, limited budgets, and a strong desire to deliver for our constituents. Our courses have consistently received four-star ratings, and 85% of our participants have come back for additional training through PE Fundraising Academy. There is no better testament to the impact of our curriculum than the endorsement of our nonprofit participants.
