“Taking Jenn’s Fundraising & Development Certificate program was transformational for me as a leader. After the course, I was able to not only speak the language, but for the first time was able to build a development plan for my organization that included multiple pathways to fundraising and donor communication. After every session, I was able to plan or do something better. I feel much more confident.”
