Why a Fundraising school?
CNPE started the school in March 2021 in collaboration with nonprofit consulting firm Ashley|Rountree and Associates to fill a gap in the training for nonprofit fundraising professionals in Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana. The James Graham Brown Foundation provided seed funding to launch the school.
The school, operating through an equity lens, aims to significantly improve the ability of our community’s nonprofit sector (staff, board members, and volunteers) to access needed funding through a full range of methods and skills.
About the School for Fundraising Excellence: Most classes are virtual and cost $75 for CNPE members and $150 for nonmembers. Scholarships are available to members.
CFRE Credits: All these courses qualify for CFRE (Certified Fund Raising Executive) credits with CFRE International. You can even download this handy form to track your continuing education hours for CFRE certification or re-certification.
