Course overview
For over 30 years the Fundraising School at Indiana University has worked to perfect ‘Principles and Techniques of Fundraising’ as the ultimate fundraising course. They now work in conjunction with FINZ to offer you the opportunity to benefit from their masterpiece - commonly known as ‘101’.
This five-day intensive course is an invaluable, comprehensive training programme for all levels of fundraisers. Not only will you be able to respond to ethical dilemmas and challenges with professional skill, you will also learn to identify and validate prospective donors and manage the fundraising process.
101 will give you the skills and confidence to plan a strategic fundraising programme, structure a successful solicitation and recognise how planned giving benefits your donors and your organisation.

The course is valuable to both new and seasoned professionals, volunteers and staff. As a new professional, you’ll learn the “must-know” strategies and tools of fundraising that let you hit the ground running toward success.
