The Promising Practices Accelerator is a training program for nonprofit leaders, focused on digital fundraising strategy and execution.
The Accelerator helps founders build a team to support their fundraising efforts instead of feeling like they need to go it alone. It’s open to a select number of Pitch Competition Finalists based on the quality of their pitches, Q&A performance, and readiness to engage in fundraising work.

Is the Accelerator right for me?
The Promising Practices 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 Promising Practices 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.
