Are you a new fundraiser or looking for a day school development refresh?

Join other Jewish day school development professionals with two or fewer years of experience for a three-day online institute focusing on the donor life cycle and exploring the art and science of fundraising through the lens of donor cultivation, solicitation and stewardship.

We’ll take a deep dive into each stage of the donor life cycle and reframe it for day school applicability and language. Throughout the three days together, you will have the opportunity to learn with veteran day school professionals and build relationships with other development professionals from across North America.

Please contact Traci Stratford if you have any questions.
