The Nonprofit Insider: January 3, 2019
Art + Science =
Successful Fundraising in 2019 and Beyond!
The Nonprofit Partnership's intensive fundraising course, "The Art and Science of Fundraising," begins THIS MONTH!

Arm your development staff with continued education to advance their fundraising knowledge and to increase your organization's fundraising thermometer!

"This was the best use of our money and my time that I've come across in a long time (except, perhaps, Nonprofit Day). I got more from this course than I could've imagined and am genuinely excited to put so much into practice. Every piece of this course was perfectly designed from the topics, to the handouts, the information presented, the speakers, the open conversation, etc. I cannot speak highly enough of this..."
-Past "Art & Science" attendee

  • Linda Hackshaw, CEO with the Sight Center of NWPA
  • Nicole Reitzell, Vice President of Community Engagement with the Erie Downtown Development Corporation
