What you will learn
When I first put together this curriculum, I was laser-focused on making sure that even if you're starting from scratch, by the end of it, you'd be equipped with all the tools and strategies you need to pull off a fundraiser that not only meets but exceeds your goals. I went through the same process myself, and I remember what it was like to wish for a clear, step-by-step guide. That's why I've made sure that everything in this course, from the expert interviews to the downloadable resources, is organized to provide you with a seamless learning experience. You'll find that it's packed with practical advice and insider tips that you can apply right away, whether you're raising funds for a local community project or a larger cause. I'm excited for you to dive in and see just how rewarding organizing a successful fundraiser can be!
