When you complete Veritus’ Mid-Level Fundraising course, you walk away with everything you need to implement the program. I’ve worked in development for 10+ years, and I really appreciate having a process in place that has been proven to be successful. Managing a portfolio makes the work seem possible and not overwhelming. If you are considering the course, do it! You’ll walk away with a process, materials and a concrete plan to match your donors’ interests and passions with your organization. Your donors will feel like they’re improving the world, and your organization and those it serves will thrive."

The Veritus Group Mid-Level Certification Course was a wonderful experience and did not disappoint! I decided to take this course with a colleague in anticipation of building a mid-level program at our organization. The course helped us evaluate our existing program, identify needs, and develop action steps toward future implementation. It’s thorough and demanding, but the action steps we were able to develop and implement within our organization were well worth the time, money and effort spent. Thank you Veritus Group for providing such an invaluable resource!”

The material I learned in the Veritus Mid-Level Certification Course has helped me create more structure around my work with mid-level donors and provided me with the knowledge and support to move the program forward confidently. I feel like my coworkers take me more seriously on the topic of mid-level giving now; taking this course really helped me take ownership over this part of our program. This course really helped guide my work and gave me a sense of purpose through the beginning of remote work, and I’m very grateful for that.”
