Here are a few free online resources from Candid Learning that might be useful to other people trying to become better fundraisers.
I haven't vetted them yet, but they look much more promising than everything else I've found so far (specifically AFP and Nonprofit Ready, which were 90% fluff).
I hope to follow up later with a properly curated list.
Preliminary list of resources
- Planning and management
- The Makings of a Great Development Director
- Where can I learn more about fundraising planning?
- Where can I learn about ethics in fundraising?
- What is a fundraising audit? Why should I conduct one?
- Put Your Donor Data to Work: Five Frameworks to Develop Your Top KPIs
- Bitcoin for Good: Digital Currencies and Blockchain for Nonprofits
- Grants
- Major gifts
- Diversity, equity, and inclusion
- Messaging
- eBooks
Is there any experience with the fundraising think-tank Rogare? Seemingly some interesting publications regarding fundraising as a profession, the ethics around it, and more.
(When searching for Rogare on the forum I am only met with first-person narrators, dragons, and cosmoses performing various kinds of 'roaring'.)
