>> Training for Nonprofit Leaders and Staff

In the midst of a troubled economy, nonprofit experts offer these practical solutions: diversify your revenue and find new and creative ways to communicate impact.

Beginning February 2009, SCVCF is offering a ten-session fundraising workshop series that will focus on all facets of fund development -- annual campaigns, major gifts, capital campaigns, marketing and more – to help you expand and diversify the strategies you use to raise financial resources.

The ten-session Fundraising Certificate Series will be offered over nine months (February – October 2009). Working with the University of St. Thomas’ Executive Education & Professional Development, we have repackaged their certificate program to bring it to Western Wisconsin. The series is designed to provide an in-depth, interactive and supportive learning experience for 30 to 35 professional participants.

Upon completion, participants will earn a Fundraising Certificate from the University of St. Thomas, whose nonprofit programs are recognized throughout the nonprofit sector, both in Minnesota and nationwide.

The SCVCF is grateful for the financial support of several local foundations – with their assistance we are able to underwrite as much as 60% of UST’s costs and pass those savings on to you. We particularly thank the Sundance Family Foundation, Tom & Patty Doar Family Foundation, the William H. Phipps Foundation, United Way St. Croix Valley and Associated Bank.

To apply for this ten-session series, please see the brochure and the application materials. Applications are due December 15, 2008.
