Description
"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."
Transform your nonprofit's fundraising capacity by mastering the art and science of major gift development. This comprehensive course takes you from foundational concepts through advanced strategies that experienced development professionals use to secure six-figure gifts.
Major gift fundraising represents the highest level of donor engagement in the nonprofit sector. Unlike annual giving campaigns focused on volume, major gift work centers on cultivating deep, meaningful relationships with individuals who have both the capacity and inclination to make substantial investments in your cause. A single major gift often equals hundreds of smaller donations, creating sustainable funding streams that allow organizations to build endowments, launch capital campaigns, and expand programs dramatically.
Throughout this course, you'll learn systematic approaches to every aspect of major gift fundraising. Discover how to assess your organization's readiness, identify high-capacity prospects through wealth screening, and design cultivation strategies that transform strangers into committed philanthropic partners. Master the mechanics of conducting successful solicitation meetings, handling donor objections, and structuring compelling gift proposals that inspire action.
You'll explore advanced techniques including planned giving integration, capital campaign management, and corporate foundation approaches. Learn how to process complex gifts, create meaningful recognition programs, and implement stewardship strategies that inspire continued support. Finally, master the metrics and evaluation methods that allow you to measure program effectiveness, calculate return on investment, and continuously optimize your approach.
Whether you're a development director, major gift officer, executive director, or board member, you'll gain practical skills you can implement immediately. Each lesson includes real-world examples, proven strategies, and actionable assignments designed to build your confidence and competence in securing transformational gifts.
