Fundraising Management

Advanced Fundraising Management (Certificate)

The Advanced Fundraising Management Certificate Program is a new offering designed for experienced professionals seeking to optimize results in major or sustaining fundraising efforts.

The need for resources in support of nonprofit organizations is greater than ever. Understanding how fundraising works is a key element to building a career in the nonprofit sector. Today more than ever, nonprofits seek professionals who understand how to optimize internal fundraising management tools and cultivate external donor relations. In short, fundraising is a relationship business.

The new Advanced Fundraising Management certificate program educates participants on inspiring new trends and effective solutions to expand the resources of nonprofits. You will build new skills and understanding for increasing the positive impact of your nonprofit organization.

Advanced courses in fundraising are taught by seasoned professionals, and focus on deploying effective strategies for securing major gifts from individual donors and through special campaigns. Current issues such as alternative business models, diversity of sources, databases, and web-based fundraising will be addressed. Also covered will be key issues in human resources management relative to retaining and developing your fundraising staff.

As nonprofit organizations ramp up their fundraising efforts, and as seasoned fundraising professionals move out of the field, there is an increasing shortage of experienced fundraising professionals in the Seattle area. Yet social service agencies, educational institutions, health care providers, arts organizations and political and environmental groups rely on fundraising professionals to help generate new sources of support.

This program empowers the nonprofit sector to further their mission by teaching effective tools, techniques, and methods within a framework of professional standards and ethics. It provides a solid professional platform on the fundamentals of fundraising techniques to extend the tradition of philanthropy.

New for 2008-2009, the program will include a field work or practicum project. This hands-on experience provides you with a deeper understanding of resource development as process and fundraising activities as method. It bridges classroom learning to real-life application and provides real-life experience for your portfolio or resume.

This program is appropriate for fundraisers with zero to three years experience, board members and volunteers seeking broader skills, and professionals seeking new careers in fundraising. Those with three-plus years may be more suited to the new Advanced Fundraising Management certificate program.
