Strengthening Fundraising Practice & Professionalism

Our first Certificate in Effective Fundraising class is a rousing success. On to our second class starting in early February.

One graduate summed up the program's "value proposition": "I am grateful for this CEF experience in all aspects of life. I've become much more confident in not only my profession, but outside of my profession as well. My coworkers seek advice from me and know that I've become a valuable resource to strengthen our organization."

With our deadline for next class's registration being January 12th, I ask those who share our belief in strengthening nonprofit fundraising practice and profession to encourage people to get more info and apply at nonprofitaustin.org/fundraising.

Thank you for your interest and help getting the word out.

More info follows. Much much thanks.
