**The University of Geneva is to offer ‘the first course of its kind aimed at the
development of international fundraisers’. The course will be taught on a part-time
basis from October 2008 to June 2009.**

The course will cover key areas of resource mobilisation, including recent developments
and trends from a number of countries around the world. The course’s style will 
be “highly participative” and participants “will be invited to apply what they learn
to their own work”.

The course is being run in partnership with the Resource Alliance on a non-profit
basis. Any surplus funds generated by the course in Geneva will be used to support
the development of courses in less developed countries, including providing subsidised
places for local nonprofit staff.
