This fundraising training course, taught by Sean Triner, is your hands-on guide to creating a survey that’s proven to dramatically increase revenue.

The Supporter Connection Survey will rock your world! And this course will show you how to produce the survey and put the results to work. It frequently QUADRUPLES the value of donations from donors surveyed. Many of our members tell us this is their favorite appeal they’ve ever worked on.

Find out how to ask the right questions that not only engage donors, but also uncover those who are ready to do MORE with you. You’ll find mid-level and even major donors who have been “hiding in plain sight.” You’ll find donors ready to include your organization in their Wills — if you ask!

You’ll learn what your most loyal donors love about your organization. Knowing this — and using it — is donor-centrism taken to a new level!

Four modules, each designed to put your survey to work:

  1. Planning for Your Supporter Connection Survey
  2. Your Survey Questions
  3. Getting the Survey Out the Door
  4. Making It All Count. Handling Responses and Communicating with Your Donors

PLUS — Bonus material that will help you bring your learnings to life, including lots of examples of our members’ successful surveys.

“As a very small charity with 600 donors and two members of staff, this has been the best value, the best training, and potentially, the best long-term initiative that we have ever done. I would highly recommend the course.”

  • Judy Elliot, National Director, International China Concern, UK

What Fundraising Is (And Isn’t): An Introduction for Non-Fundraisers

If your board, boss, and other colleagues don’t quite understand what you’re doing in fundraising, this workshop is for you! You’ll get a presentation you can edit, adapt, and add to, and then you present it yourself to your board, senior managers, volunteers, staff, other non-fundraisers in your organization.

This is not your typical workshop! Christiana Stergiou and Jeff Brooks will guide you through creating your own fundraising presentation for your board, management, and wider team, including:

  • Why we do fundraising
  • That fundraising is a profession
  • Why fundraising is strange

You’ll get a simple and editable MS PowerPoint file with talking points to help you present this fundraising introduction to your team.

Moceanic Storytelling Course

Your Blueprint for Donor-Focused, High-Revenue Fundraising Storytelling

Find and tell the right stories to inspire your donors to give again and again. In this nonprofit storytelling course taught by expert Jeff Brooks, you’ll discover how to spot a great story — and find the workarounds when you don’t have one. You’ll know how to get the right information even when it’s hard to find. Plus, in this fundraising training, you’ll learn the writing tips that bring your stories to life.

Stories have incredible power to move people to action. But not every story does the job.

Understanding the ins and outs of fundraising stories will give your entire nonprofit communications a boost.

In this fundraising storytelling course, you’ll discover Jeff Brooks’ eye-opening secrets for telling stories that reach donors’ hearts and minds, inspiring them to care and motivating them to give. Even if you think you have no stories to tell, you’ll discover how to encourage the miracle of charitable giving.

Whether you are new to fundraising, an experienced writer, or in charge of approving fundraising writing, this course will equip you to make the right decisions.

Four example-packed modules will show you how to find the right story that moves donors’ hearts and minds and inspires them to give:

  1. What is a Story?
  2. The Donor’s Story
  3. Powerful Copywriting that Makes your Stories Sing
  4. Getting the Story

PLUS — Bonuses, extras, and nonprofit storytelling examples that will help you put your knowledge to work right away finding and telling those winning stories.
