501(c) Success National Speaker Series featuring Erik J. Daubert, MBA, ACFRE and the Fundraising Fitness Test

Erik Daubert, MBA, ACFRE, Chair of the Growth in Giving Initiative and the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, joins us to demonstrate how nonprofits can use the Fundraising Fitness Test to understand their own financial development data.  Through this tool, nonprofit leaders and development professionals can assess the impact of growth decisions and new strategies based on their own historical fundraising performance results. The tool also allows organizations to compare their data with national fundraising information.  

How effective is your fundraising? Would you like some hands-on help in evaluating your successes and identifying areas for improvement?  Our presenter, Erik Daubert and his team at the Growth in Giving Initiative, have offered to interpret the actual results for area nonprofits who take the Fundraising Fitness Test.  After registering for the program, you'll receive an email with instructions about how to take the Fundraising Fitness Test and next steps.

Check out Erik's guest post on the Nonprofit Connect blog, and read how you can change board conversations around philanthropy by using the Fundraising Fitness Test.

The Fundraising Effectiveness Project (FEP), one of the largest philanthropic research projects in the world, was established in 2006 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and the Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy at the Urban Institute, to conduct research on fundraising effectiveness and help nonprofits increase their fundraising results at a faster pace.  To this end, the Project provides free tools like the Fundraising Fitness Test for tracking and evaluating an organization’s annual growth in giving.
