Transform your organisation's fundraising potential with this one-hour online course delivered through four practical modules. This course demonstrates what fundraising readiness looks like and how to create it in your organisation.
Drawing on extensive experience, we guide you through Nova Fundraising's tried and tested 8 components of fundraising readiness that separate successful, sustainable fundraising from those who struggle to gain momentum. Whether you're new to fundraising or have faced previous challenges, this course provides an accessible approach to building your organisation's capacity.
You'll discover what distinguishes fundraising-ready organisations, assess your current position, and develop a practical toolkit for success. Through real-world charity examples and proven frameworks, you'll learn to cultivate the right culture, build capacity, establish resources, and connect with potential donors.
This isn't just theory – it's a practical roadmap to creating solid foundations for all your future fundraising efforts.
