Certification Course in Mid-Level Fundraising

Certification-Course-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.

What you will learn:

  • The fundamentals needed to set up a successful mid-level program.

  • How to set up your data correctly so you can measure your program, track key metrics, and ensure you have the right donors in your caseload pool.

  • What is required to have a meaningful and impactful donor offer in a mid-level program.

  • How to use the introduction series to begin learning about your donor’s passions, interests, preferences, and desire for a relationship.

  • Which skills, talents, and characteristics are found in extraordinary Mid-level Officers and how to hire, retain and motivate them.

  • The role of the Mid-Level Officer and what is required to be successful in it.

  • How to tier your caseload and create personalized, meaningful communication plans.

  • How to use permission-based asking in all of your donor conversations.

  • How to smoothly and strategically move donors up to major gifts.

 

What you need to know:

  • This course is self-paced and allows you to interact in a multi-media learning experience (webinars, videos, podcasts, readings, and group calls) on your own schedule during the 13-week course period.
  • There are 8 modules in this course. You should estimate 3-5 hours of work per module. Each module does vary, so we recommend setting aside time each week to stay on top of your course work.
  • When you complete the course and submit your assignments, you’ll earn 36 CFRE Credits. Upon completing the course, you will also earn your Veritus Scholar certificate.
  • Our Live Community Q&A calls for this course are recommended, but not required. These calls are a time to be live with a Veritus expert, ask questions, seek guidance on implementation, and share ideas with your fellow participants.
