“Fundraising can sometimes feel like you’re all alone on an island. The Sanford Institute of Philanthropy Fundraising Academy not only offers excellent information to improve your fundraising skills, it also provides the support and understanding of other nonprofit professionals so you don’t feel so alone. The courses are very interactive and collaborative. The instructors and guest speakers are world-class. And you get ample opportunity to practice what you learn before taking those lessons into the real world. The courses have given me the tools to meet my fundraising goals without fundamentally changing who I am.”
