Major Gift Fundraising 101: Moves Management

Hi, I'm Alison! I am a passionate nonprofit fundraiser who has raised millions for mission-driven causes and an enthusiastic entrepreneur whose mission is to help 5,000 nonprofits deepen their impact by growing their income. Let me tell you my story...At the age of 16, I organized my first nonprofit fundraiser. After being a full-time nonprofit fundraiser for more than 12 years, I decided to dip my toes into the entrepreneurial space.Ever since, I have found immense joy in flexing my creativity, sharing my knowledge to help nonprofits, pushing my comfort zone, and discovering things that I couldn't learn in the classroom.One year ago, I decided to take the next step and share my knowledge with those who are new to fundraising and philanthropy. This decision brought me to Udemy, where I am able to combine my biggest talents: nonprofit fundraising, building a culture of philanthropy, and teaching.My teaching philosophy on Udemy is simple:I am crafting courses that are clear, make fundraising, feel simple and easy, and instill confidence into my students… the type I wish I had when I first started raising mission-driven funds.My courses serve a very important goal: helping you to transform your nonprofit by giving you the skills and confidence, you need to become a successful fundraiser.I've seen the impact a solid fund development plan, strategies, tactics, and the culture to support it can have on a nonprofit and its mission. That's why I can only encourage you not to miss out on this opportunity.I am just getting started, and I am so excited that you are here to join me.As of today (my second month) I've sold more than 50 courses, established a successful online business (The Fundraising Shop), and have helped over 800 nonprofits increase their impact by increasing their income.So, that's my story. But now, I just want to ask you a simple question.Do you want some help?Do you want to establish your own nonprofit, become a nonprofit fundraiser, or simply generate more income for your current organization?Great! Because I am sure I am going to be able to help you. Feel free to check out my course portfolio and let's see if we can work together.Let’s do this,Alison Clare Baldree
