As we look to a new generation of donors, it is now more important than ever for charities to align their understanding of what drives and engages donors and prospects for charity giving. Fundraising is being reshaped by Millennials and Gen-Z. The next generation of donors promises to be the most significant group in history — shaping our world and our sector in profound ways. With a younger generation starting to disrupt the ‘traditional’ ways of philanthropy, is your organisation ready to embrace the change?

As a line manager you will be considering how you can best manage and lead your team members in today's dynamic environment, as well as deliver what is needed for your organisation. From extra stressors at home, illness, increased workloads, rapidly changing environment, staff shortages due to annual leave, sickness and loss, managing change and in many cases home or hybrid working – to name but a few of the factors that will be impacting staff. In addition, you may be in separate locations and cannot rely upon the usual ways of communicating, making decisions, and working together. The shift to hybrid and remote working requires a new approach to leadership and management. This course is designed for experienced and new line managers who are seeking to enhance their skills even further. The course will give you tools and techniques for supporting your team - whether remote, hybrid or in-person - and delivering results for your organisation. It will be practical and interactive.

This is a course designed specifically for professional charity fundraisers who are responsible for creating a strategy and plan in major gift fundraising or who wants to prepare for a role where this will be part of the job. Growing major gift fundraising success is as much about individual relationships as it is watching the indicators of success in your organisation and making great decisions about where to invest your resources. If you want to understand what a healthy planning process looks like and what insight you need to gather to make great strategic decisions in your organisation then this is the course for you. Your trainer will take you through how to map where you are starting from and how to position where you want to be. You will be introduced to tried and tested concepts and cutting edge ideas that successful teams are currently using to measure the quality of their relationships. Importantly, this will also help you to assess how ready your organisation is to respond to your current and prospective supporters’ needs. You will also explore all of the options you have ahead of you, get tools to help you decide where to allocate your resources and how to make decisions that are right for you and your organisation. By the end of this two day course you will leave inspired and with a clear roadmap for how to create your strategy and plan in major gift fundraising.
