Fundraising for Social Impact will provide practical, tactical tips to fundraise for social impact, going from zero to millions of dollars raised.
The course is facilitated by Carrie Rich, the co-founder and CEO, who has achieved this feat on repeat throughout the last decade and she has helped hundreds of social entrepreneurs to do the same, across the United States and in more than forty countries globally. To illustrate the tactics in this course Carrie layers in inspirational stories about marginalized founders who’ve successfully raised money to scale social causes. The course provides a flexible and interactive learning experience created to guide aspiring fundraisers through the process of cultivating donors, creating a fundraising plan, and delivering an effective fundraising pitch.
Fundraising isn’t easy. It can be daunting to reach out to people in your community or network to ask for donations. Yet there is a proven approach to raising funds, if you focus on building meaningful relationships with people who care about your social cause.
This course is for you if you’ve had limited experience raising large sums of money and are eager to make a difference through your organization or personal engagement.
+ Young professionals looking to raise money for causes they care about
+ Nonprofit and social impact leaders stepping into a fundraising-focused role
+ New board members or volunteers who are tasked with raising funding
+ Members of advocacy organizations looking to raise dollars for a worthy cause
Carrie Rich, believes in making the world better through business and leadership. That is why she co-founded The Global Good Fund ten years ago to invest in high potential, overlooked social entrepreneurs. Many entrepreneurs need access to capital to scale, so she went on to found and manage the Global Impact Fund, which is dedicated to investing in socially impactful businesses primarily led by black, brown and women founders. Carrie’s fourth book, Impact The World: Live Your Values and Drive Changes as a Citizen Statesperson, was published by Wiley in May 2022 and is now a WSJ and Amazon Best Seller. Carrie gives back by serving on corporate and nonprofit boards and by volunteering in her local community. Carrie’s fundamental message is about accessibility – everyday people can empower themselves and others.
