Individual Coaching
If your organization is looking for help developing a specific skill or working on a certain activity - writing your first grant or launching a major donor campaign, for example - The Funding Seed can help. Whether it's a one-time board training or weekly individual coaching sessions with your staff, The Funding Seed can create a training program tailored to your own needs and goals.
During the global health crisis, custom coaching sessions are available online for teams of all sizes. Fees are always based on a sliding scale.
Monthly Workshops
Monthly workshops from The Funding Seed are a great way to learn new strategies, brush up on skills and engage with other members of the nonprofit community. Covering topics from Nonprofit Fundraising 101 to Grantwriting for Beginners to Creating a Powerful Fundraising Plan, these workshops are an affordable option for nonprofits looking for new fundraising training opportunities.
Due to the COVID-19 response, The Funding Seed is currently holding our monthly workshops virtually in order to follow social distancing practices and the best recomendations for public health.
Online Learning Library
Learn how to raise money for your nonprofit ... and do it from the comfort of your own office, on your own schedule. Through The Funding Seed's training videos, electronic worksheets, and other tools, you can develop your skills in grantwriting, donor development, and other fundraising activities. Once you purchase a course, you can review and use the materials as often as you'd like.
Current courses include Essentials of Grantwriting (full-length course), Engaging Your Board Members in Fundraising (mini-course) and Donor Relationships and Retention (mini-course).
Cohort Learning
Cohort learning courses help you to learn about fundraising and apply lessons in real time, raising money as you go. Guided curriculums from The Funding Seed alternate group sessions- with fellow fundraising practitioners from other nonprofits- and individual sessions- with your organization's team and a professional coach- that are designed to help you learn by doing.
