This online fundraising program will be customized for you and your nonprofit. You will focus on an online fundraising campaign you want to target in this training program. During that time, we will 1) research and clearly identify who your potential nonprofit donors are, 2) assemble background information on your programs in order to instill donor confidence, and 3) package the information in the presentation format that will create the best call to action: Donate!
