Fundraising Specialist Certification

Don’t let the donation downturn harm your organization. Earn your Fundraising Specialist Certification for better results.

The good times stopped rolling when fundraisers heard disheartening news at the April ADP ICON 2023 conference in New Orleans. The Fundraising Effectiveness Project shared its 2022 data:

• Last year broke the positive fundraising momentum that endured since 2012
• Donations to nonprofits dropped 1.7%
• The number of donors declined 10%
• New donor contributions decreased 8.7%

As your organization confronts the downward trend, you can take immediate actions to restore, maintain, and build your donations in 2023.

To help you get on a better path before the year gets away from you, we are offering an engaging three-session certification program:
