Charities Experiment With Ways to Train Fund Raisers - Prospecting - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas

Charities Experiment With Ways to Train Fund Raisers - Prospecting - The Chronicle of Philanthropy- Connecting the nonprofit world with news, jobs, and ideas: "In Charlotte, for example, eight senior fund raisers founded the Leadership Gift School last year. Their goal is to teach executive directors and other fund raisers how to pursue big gifts from individuals.

To get the training program off the ground, the founders got a $100,000 grant from the community foundation as well as donations from corporate sponsors, the local chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and other donors."
