Welcome to our courses. Few opportunities exist to actively change the way we think. Luckily for you, we figured it out so you can apply it to learning with highly successful outcomes. You will become immersed in activity, working at your own pace, while engaging in games, solving problems, and sorting out the nuances. Whether you are a CEO, board or committee member, staff or someone interested in nonprofits, you will become more confident and equipped with the knowledge you need. Now, go change the world. We need you.

BTW “Know it all Natalie”, our little fishy in a bowl is positioned at the bottom right throughout Major Gifts Part I and Buzzing for Donors. Natalie is here to help you with tips and info along the way. A live de-brief is also available for a great wrap up.

If that isn't motivation enough, remember that you will be collecting points in some of the courses (we marked them) that can be used 1) to bank for a discount on another course (Major Gifts Part II is in production), 2) to donate to our Scholarship Fund and 3) have us match (up to $100) and send to a US nonprofit of your choice, as a gift directed from you!

Brain Planes 

It's a cool reminder that you can't make decisions by staring at your own belly button. It will make you a better fundraiser for your organization by pointing out what you can learn from asking a variety of others to help you. It's a fun peek at where to find good information about your potential supporters.

Live Training

Live Training for Major Gifts 

Think we've forgotten about how good live training can be, especially when it's gamified? It's pretty exciting! The challenge, however, is scaling it. It's only limited to a maximum group of 20 and requires two full days. But it's definitely worth it - a truly wow experience.
