Funding Justice: Cohort Program
Free Fundraising Course
Essential Skills for Effective Fundraising Success.
What the Program Offers
FIVE MODULES. ONE GOAL.
Funding Justice is a free, five-module training cohort built for organizations that have historically been shut out of traditional funding systems. Rather than a one-size-fits-all webinar, this program is hands-on and cohort-based: you’ll learn alongside a small group of peer organizations, guided by fundraising practitioners who understand the barriers equity-driven organizations face.
By the end of the cohort, your organization will have a fundraising roadmap tailored to your mission, practical tools you can put to use immediately, and a stronger foundation for long-term financial resilience.
Comprehensive Course Content
Five practical modules covering every stage of building sustainable fundraising capacity.
1. Mastering Prospect Research
Learn how to identify funders, foundations, and individual donors whose values align with your mission, using research methods that don’t require expensive tools or paid databases.
2. Grant Writing
Build the skills to write compelling, fundable proposals: framing your organization’s impact, structuring a budget narrative, and responding to what funders are actually looking for.
3. Corporate Sponsorships
Understand how corporate giving works, how to identify the right partners, and how to pitch sponsorships that align with your mission instead of compromising it.
Comprehensive Course Content and Resources
Ignite your impact
The course is divided into multiple sessions, each targeting specific aspects of fundraising. These include modules on institutional fundraising, grant writing techniques, and advanced prospect research. Learners will also gain access to exclusive resources like proposal templates, networking groups, and live Q&A sessions to support their ongoing development. Pre-recorded sessions are released weekly, supplemented by quizzes and worksheets, while live sessions take place bi-weekly via Zoom, offering practical, real-time learning opportunities.
4. Digital Fundraising
Learn practical, low-cost strategies for growing your donor base online, from email campaigns to peer-to-peer giving, without needing a marketing team or budget.
5. Major Gifts
Learn how to identify, cultivate, and steward individual donors capable of significant, mission-sustaining gifts, and how to build those relationships authentically over time.
