The Fundraising Programme 2007 is well under way, including a suite of new courses
around diversifying fundraising and income – such as the two-day workshop Getting
Ready for Enterprise. Bringing together the strengths of two of fundraising’s leading
training provides, the Directory of Social Change (‘DSC’) and the Institute of Fundraising(‘
Institute’), the purpose of the Programme is to bring fundraisers the highest standards
of specialised training.

The Fundraising Programme is training for fundraisers by fundraisers featuring programmes
tailored to meet the needs of large and small organisations. All courses are designed
to enable fundraisers to follow through from those for the novice fundraiser to 
more advanced courses that lead to the Institute’s Certificate in Fundraising Management,
the qualification for professional fundraisers. These are The Foundation Course 
in Fundraising Practice, one of the most comprehensive introductions to fundraising
available within Europe, and Managing Fundraising, designed for those wishing to
complete the Managing Fundraising element of the Certificate in Fundraising Management.

Amanda Shepard, Director of Professional Development at the Institute of Fundraising
comments: Why not raise your game in 2007 by investing in a training course from
the Fundraising Programme? The Fundraising Programme offers a single point of contact
for all of your training needs, allowing you to develop the practical knowledge 
and skills required to fundraise effectively.”
