In this comprehensive training, you’ll learn the tools and systems that will help you take a disciplined approach to effectively managing your fundraising program in a way that honors your donors and your staff.

This comprehensive training runs in tandem with our certification courses in Major Gifts & Mid-Level Fundraising, so your entire team can learn the same language and implement a consistent system.

Participants who complete the course in full will become Veritus Scholars.

“I brought my team of fundraisers to VGA so we could speak a common language. We have experienced tremendous success implementing The Veritus Way, and I would recommend putting every MGO through this course.”

— Rob Smoot, LDS Philanthropies

“I’ve been in major gifts fundraising for 14 years and it was time for some fresh thinking. Every module of this course had something to offer. I would highly recommend this as a course for honing skills of major gifts program managers or execs needing to build a skill set”

Description:

Certification Course for Fundraising Managers and Executives

Management of a major gift program requires knowledge, skills and tools rarely taught in school. And if you’re coming from other areas of fundraising or non-profit management, there are differences you need to be aware of.

Does any of this speak to you?

Ashley Jacobs“Last year I became an MGO; I was nervous and unsure. But after spending time in Veritus trainings and coaching sessions, I quickly learned how straight-forward major gift work is, and that building authentic, real relationships is fundamental. Now, I’ve fallen in love with this profession and have found meaning and purpose. I can’t say enough good about Veritus Group and how they’ve helped me develop into a successful MGO.”
