This advanced course in major gifts begins with a five-day intensive program to introduce you to the world of major gift fundraising, using case examples and best practices amassed over 50 years of combined fund development experience across Canada.
Beginning in the classroom...
With a maximum of five students per class, you will be taken through the full cycle of major gifts moves management. From case development and communications, to prospect identification and research. From volunteer recruitment and management, to cultivation, solicitation and stewardship best practices.
Implemented in your organization...
To ensure students are able to take their learning off the page to advance the fund development operations of their organization, each student then receives the benefit of 12 months of coaching from a senior major gift professional. Tailored to each professional's portfolio and each organization's specific major gift goals; coaching is provided to students and the entire development team (staff and volunteers as appropriate) using a blend of on-site and remote (web and phone based) coaching methods.
