Lift Fundraising Accelerator Program

Our Lift Fundraising Accelerator Program is aimed at creating a strong foundation for fundraising, supported by a plan for implementation, as well as marketing and communications efforts. Content is delivered in course format and personalized coaching supports implementation of ideas. It is ideal for organizations who are looking for ways to diversify their revenue, have limited staffing (usually with only one person to fundraise) and want to walk away with a plan.

 

We work with small groups of no more than 10 to build foundational knowledge as well as community, allowing participants to get to know each other and work through challenges and opportunities together. We often say that “the answers are in the room.”

 

Program participant: staff member or volunteer who leads fundraising efforts. Registration is limited to only one participant per organization.
