Donors Forum is excited to announce a new slate of skill-building workshops for 2012-1013.

Grant Proposal Writing

We are offerin
g advanced as well as introductory courses in proposal writing to satisfy a wide range of needs. Whether you’re interested in the “how tos” of successful grantwriting, in which you can learn the seven essential elements of a winning proposal, or you’re ready for an advanced proposal writing series, which focuses on the team efforts required to write a successful proposal and even offers reviews from grantmakers on proposal drafts, the experienced and trusted instructors for Donors Forum will be able to help you compose the most successful grants to achieve your fundraising goals.

Individual Giving

We also provide workshops for individual giving and program evaluation; passing along the techniques and strategies necessary to turn prospects into donors and receive major gifts, in addition to learning how to better communicate your message and impact as a nonprofit. Individual giving workshop participants say they have used the tools they learned to create “a comprehensive plan for the annual fund,” and gain “confidence in pursuing a specific course of action.”

Nonprofits 101

We’re very excited about a new intensive workshop being offered this year, called Nonprofits 101. This intensive two-day course provides a boot-camp like introduction to nonprofits and working in the sector—perfect for new nonprofit staff (like me!) or people looking to transition into the nonprofit sector. 

If these workshops don’t seem to fit exactly what you’re looking for, Donors Forum also offers contract training. This course is tailored to meet the needs of YOUR organization (or your grantees) on topics related to fundraising, evaluation, governance, succession planning, volunteer management, social media, and more. 

These workshops are popular so register online now to save your spot!
