Announcing the Fall 2023 Cohort: Principles & Techniques of Fundraising Course

Fueling Dynamic Fundraising, an initiative of The Patterson Foundation (TPF), seeks to strengthen nonprofits to create and execute strong fundraising programs. Through TPF's partnership with the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy and The Fund Raising School (TFRS), local nonprofits can receive in-person training from TFRS faculty fully funded by The Patterson Foundation. Following the successful completion of the fundraising course, organizations will have the opportunity to participate in an ongoing consultation phase, which will provide support to implement learnings from the course.

The Fueling Dynamic Funding team is pleased to announce the fall 2023 cohort for the Principles & Techniques of Fundraising Course offered November 13th–16th.
