How To Advance In Your Development Career: A Road Map For Your Future

During this 90-minute recorded webinar, you will get all of the tools and step-by-step instructions needed to advance up the fundraising career ladder.  

We spend most of our waking hours at our job but rarely do we ever thoughtfully plan our nonprofit training for how we will invest in ourselves and our future philanthropy career path. For fundraising and development professionals, this is even more so the case.  With high job turnover rates in the profession, why not plan for how you want to advance and what your future will look like in an organization that fits you best.

During This Non Profit Training Course, You Will Learn: 

  • How to determine the next steps to find your ideal fundraising position.
  • How to position your strengths and accomplishments to get recognized.
  • How to create a cover letter and resume to brand your professional fundraising image.
  • How to develop your nonprofit professional networks to help fast-track your success.
  • How to identify and secure the best mentor to use as a valuable tool for your fundraising career advancement.
  • How to find and vet a philanthropic job opportunity to ensure a good “cultural” fit.
  • How to create and use a professional development plan of non profit training classes to elevate your fundraising skills and career.
  • How to move into fundraising leadership, with or without previous experience.
  • How to use social media to create value and to position yourself in the “market.”

Do you have a plan in place to move up the career ladder to your ultimate, dream fundraising job? Whether you are seeking a Vice-President of Development position, Manager of Donor Relations, or something in-between, this webinar will help you plan for your future by making the right career steps today.

Imagine…

  • Determining your ultimate, long-range career goal and starting to plan for that position today.
  • Using your networks to find the “hidden” jobs and to fast-track your fundraising career success.
  • Finding the right kind of mentor who can help you learn quicker and advance faster.
  • Learning how to brand yourself, both offline and online, to elevate your profile and attract your ideal development position.
