FastTrack Masterclass:

Online Fundraising
in a Digital Age
This nonprofit fundraising FastTrack program provides cutting-edge information, time-saving templates, training—and leads you in developing a donor-focused newsletter & donation webpages for your organization.
A self-paced 2 to 3-Month, online training program. During this tailored training program both beginning and experienced participants will learn how to optimize websites and improve donor communications to find donors, attract them to their websites and begin receiving online donations.
This online fundraising program will be customized for you and your nonprofit. You will focus on an online fundraising campaign you want to target in this training program. During that time, we will 1) research and clearly identify who your potential nonprofit donors are, 2) assemble background information on your programs in order to instill donor confidence, and 3) package the information in the presentation format that will create the best call to action: Donate!
We will develop an approachable online fundraising calendar for your new campaign. Then, you’ll tune up your blog postings and newsletters to capture donor imagination—and make sure your nonprofit donation page is effective and easy to use.
Then you will launch your new online fundraising campaign!
1. The program will lead you through the development of a real fundraising plan, in real time. You will fine tune your donation webpages, determine what your target audience wants to learn about, and write new compelling newsletters.
