Revenue Development Certificate: Part 1 (Spring)

Asking for money can be hard, but maintaining resources for your organization is essential to ensure your survival. Join the CNM Revenue Development Certificate to learn the skills you need to meet the demands of securing revenue for a nonprofit. This is part one of a three part series.

** Please note, the Revenue Development Certificate requires you to be able to attend all 3 core courses.  For your convenience, when you register for Part 1, it automatically enrolls you into all three core courses for the Spring Cohort. 

Here are the dates for the Revenue Development Certificate - Spring Cohort: 

Revenue Development Certificate Part 1 (Spring) : 1/29/2020

Revenue Development Certificate Part 2 (Spring) : 2/26/2020

Revenue Development Certificate Part 3 (Spring) : 3/25/2020

The Revenue Development Certificate is comprised of three core classes and three electives, giving time for each participant to truly explore the elements of fundraising in depth. Through a cohort model, nonprofit development professionals will build a connected community with a culture of learning and feedback. Participants will learn best practices in the field, and walk away with a fundraising plan ready for implementation.

Q&A for the Fundraising Certificate

The requirements for each certificate are different. See below for details about the Revenue Development Certificate.

How do I sign up for this certificate?

To sign up, register for Revenue Development: Part 1. This will automatically enroll you in the three core classes (part 1, part 2, and part 3). This also enrolls you in the certificate; however, the certificate is not completed until you sign up for three additional elective courses.

Does signing up here register me for all 6 of the required courses to complete the certificate?

No. Signing up here automatically enrolls you for the 3 core classes and into the certificate program. However, you must select your own three electives from the CNM Workshop Calendar and enroll individually.

Can I sign up for the Revenue Development Certifciate Core courses (3 workshops), and NOT sign up for the other three elective courses?

At this point you will be enrolled in the Revenue Development Certificate; however, it is your choice to finish the certificate and take the other electives. Participants are disenrolled from a certificate if it is not completed within two years of the first certificate class taken.

Can I take my elective courses before I finish my three core course?

Yes. You can take the electives at any time.However, we do recommend starting with the foundational core classes.

Can I just take one of the core classes? I only want to attend Revenue Development Certificate (part 1).

No. All three core classes must be taken together. You cannot just take one or two of the core classes.

I took one of the core courses in the certificate last year. Does it count for the certificate this year?

Courses taken in 2019 may be applied to the certificates. Courses taken before 2019 may not be applied to the certificates.
