Find the training that’s right for you!

Veritus Group Academy is your one-stop source for training for anyone involved in major gift, mid-level, and planned giving fundraising for non-profits, whether working on the frontlines with donors or as a manager.

“Veritus Group’s Major Gift Academy is fantastic to work with! United Way Worldwide teamed up with Veritus to deliver a customized and critical addition to our overall major gift training, designed specifically to enhance our network’s strategy within the broader framework of a comprehensive major gift effort.

We found that Veritus customer service is top notch – the entire Veritus team jumped in to make the design and delivery as smooth as possible.  They’re always willing to work around challenges/opportunities to ensure success for our participants.  They have become true partners in our work, committed to creating solutions by collaborating and brainstorming current challenges.

Over 120 network professionals were trained in the first year of our work together! Several UW’s sent multiple members of their staff to build a team that will run a “Best Practice” Major Gifts program.  Veritus delivers a structured, disciplined, and accountable fundraising framework with practical tools that can be implemented immediately into day-to-day work, while blending the art of staying donor-centric with the science of metrics for future and continued growth.”

Director, Major Giving & Tocqueville at United Way Worldwide

Customized Trainings

You may be looking for customized major or mid-level training for your team. When we work with our clients, our approach involves listening, asking questions, and tailoring the training to ensure that learning is integrated into your organization. We focus on creating an implementation strategy that will work for your culture and needs. When you hire Veritus Group Academy team for custom training, you work with VGA staff, throughout the process, to create, continually adapt, and determine the outcomes of that training.

This customized training can take place online-only, on-site, or a hybrid. It can take many different forms:

N

Full-day or multi-day workshops with large-group trainings and small-group exercises

N

Individual planning for implementation and integration into work plans and organizational strategy

N

Follow-up by phone or web-conference to encourage continued progress

N

Pre- and Post-session readings and training media for absorption of materials at your own pace

Each training is led by an experienced Veritus Group member who tailors the experience to your needs. Contact Amy Chapman to discuss your needs (email | phone: 215-514-0600).

Individual and Group Coaching

Once you have completed a VGA course, you may sometimes have very specific needs around integration of your learning to your particular organization and donors, and you want some additional help. Veritus Group Academy offers individual coaching for major gift fundraisers and non-profit managers & executives who are graduates of our trainings. Usually done via web conference and telephone, this type of coaching can help you build your skills or supplement your own discipline. You can request single coaching sessions or packages of multiple sessions. We offer a three session coaching package.
