Introduction – The Secrets of Activist Fundraising

Watch the featured video (above) for the overview and big picture. You’ll want to do that first before you dive into the four core modules.
Module 1. Fundraising Myths, Realities and How to Build a Monthly Giving Program

As you may know, I have personally worked with hundreds of nonprofits, and trained staff from tens of thousands more. Over and over again I’ve see fundraising programs defeated by people who don’t know any better. I want to give you the skills to overcome these obstacles
Module 2. The Secrets of Copy and Design

Writing is almost certainly more important than you think. Virtually everything you do in your organization requires some writing. If you want to change the world, it’s important to convince prospects and donors to do what you want them to do. That could be taking an action. And it almost certainly is donating money.
Module 3. Campaigning and Fundraising

Here’s a tip for all activists: if you’re doing effective work, you will be attacked. I want you to know how to prepare for this and use it to your advantage. I want to show you how to prepare for opportunities because those who act quickly will raise the money – and I want that to be you.
Module 4. Learning How to Ask

Countless progressive organizations have convinced donors to make significant gifts because they did the proper preparation and knew how to ask for a major gift. I want you to know how to do this too, because I know that the more money you have, the more you can accomplish.
