Now more than ever, nonprofit organizations need their development strategies to be well structured, creative and data-driven.

You will also address engaging your board members as brand ambassadors as a means for fundraising. This program will bring in experts from the field to lead you through a rich mix of classroom learning and highly interactive discussions.
