Is the Accelerator right for me?
The Fundraising Accelerator is designed to help nonprofit leaders build real fundraising capacity. For some participants, this was their first campaign. For others, it was an expansion and an opportunity to motivate donors through a match. In every case, the work continues beyond the campaign.
What’s the timeframe?
The Fundraising Accelerator is a 6-week training program, requiring about 3-5 hours per week. Participants also launch a fundraising campaign that runs from Giving Tuesday (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving) through December 31st.
