VERITUS GROUP ACADEMY
Certification Course in Mid-Level Fundraising
Are you losing donors by the hundreds (or maybe even thousands) and feel lost at how to retain your donors and support your major gift and planned giving programs? We believe mid-level is the key. By focusing on your mid-level donors, you will not only provide vital support to the rest of the donor pipeline by retaining valuable donors and promoting qualified prospects to the major gifts program, but you will also strengthen your donor relationships and increase your organization’s net revenue.
Participants who complete the course in full will become Veritus Scholars.
