Our e-learning course was designed for the fundraising professional who is tired of leaving gifts on the table, for the fundraiser who no longer wants to work within the confines of “major gifts” or of “planned gifts.”
The course offers a time-efficient and cost-effective way to on-board a new major gift fundraiser. The Four Decisions Online solves your training problem through its five inter-active lessons designed to get the new hire up to speed quickly, affordably, and effectively.
More than a webinar.
- The student is an active participant in this e-learning experience, not a passive listener.
- Each lesson includes printable forms, checklists and templates applicable to that lesson.
- Each lesson includes a Knowledge Assessment (quiz) and post-lesson assignments to help you apply general concepts to how your organization works.
