In 2024, we piloted our Accelerator Workshops that were 3, 6, or 9-hours of instruction from seasoned professionals on a particular fundraising or leadership topic with built-in EDIJ (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, & Justice) analysis. These will be similar to how the Certificate in Nonprofit Fundraising and Certificate in Executive Leadership courses are structured, but without the 10-week to 10-month time commitment.

Workshops are designed for those newer to fundraising, as well as for experienced fundraisers branching into new fields. Use the links below to learn more about each workshop.

• Accelerate Board Development 
  
• Accelerate Communications 
• Accelerate Data Management 
• Accelerate Development Plans 
• Accelerate Fundraising Appeals 
• Accelerate Grant Writing Excellence 
• Accelerate Legal Empowerment 
• Accelerate Major Gifts 

Some of our workshops have yet to be scheduled. If you are interested, please let us know by joining the waitlist.  

Tuition

We offer an accessible sliding-scale tuition fee structure. For those who are able, the Community Builder fee helps cover the costs The People’s Nonprofit incurs to host and develop the training. If you are able to contribute more, please consider the Equity Builder fee, which will increase attendance accessibility to our programming. If you have questions about the sliding-scale, please contact courses@thepeoplesnonprofit.org.
