Strive for Excellence. Shape the Future.

Ready to lead high-level fundraising strategy, planning, analysis, and forecasting? Want to foster an environment where fundraising thrives while advancing the profession itself?

The International Advanced Diploma in Fundraising could be your next step. This qualification sits at Level 7, equivalent in level and assessment to a Master’s degree.

The Advanced Diploma encourages you to think differently and offers practical mechanisms for making decisions that extend beyond fundraising. Participating in the course provided me with the framework and language to better advocate for fundraising within my organisation.

Course format

Live virtual delivery, with all sessions delivered on Zoom. You are expected to engage with the course material and your fellow students in advance, between and after the teaching blocks. 

The approach is innovative; it is primarily delivered through Active Learning and Just in Time teaching approaches. 

Assessment

Seven written assignments are required to pass. These assignments will draw on your workplace or your work practice, using your experiences as examples or as the basis for some research. In some situations you will be able to adapt your assignment and be able to submit your work as a Practice Paper to the Journal of Philanthropy and Marketing. The paper will be peer reviewed and if suitable published in the journal. If you would like to know more please use this link for further information.
