Many small nonprofits cannot afford trained development staff, or if they can, they have trouble keeping them due to the high demand for qualified talent. Current development training options tend to be expensive, transactional (a single class or course) and focused on a single individual. Should that person leave the organization, they take the knowledge with them and put the nonprofit’s revenue at risk.
But what if we could make fundraising training more accessible to a larger number of people within your organization, thereby integrating it into your operations and culture? What if we could train your high performers and board members so that everyone has a hand in development?
The Chicago Fundraising Accelerator Bootcamp is a highly customized program designed to train novice or non-development professionals in the practice of fundraising and incorporate those learnings throughout the organization. Our rigorous program begins with classroom training and is reinforced through actual scenarios and challenges…using your donors.
Our goal is to build development programs that realistically fit within an organization’s culture and structure, resulting in increased sources of revenue, built-in succession planning and a more financially stable organization in the future.

She uses a highly customized approached and program, designed to help small nonprofits develop internal capacity for fundraising, with the goal to build long-term financial sustainability.
