Are you a fundraiser who is looking for ways to diversify funding sources? Do you want to tap into US foundations that you have not taken advantage of until now? Then this course is right for you!

Learn how to raise funds from US Foundations!

The USA is the most philanthropic country in the world and can be one of the most rewarding markets for fundraising. The total estimated charitable giving in the United States reached $499.33 billion in 2022, which demonstrated a decline of 3.4 percent between 2021 and 2022. Giving by foundations grew 2.5 percent, to an estimated $105.21 billion in 2022 (a decline of 5 percent when adjusted for inflation).

Despite the economic difficulties due to inflation and the heavy competition for US foundation dollars, there are significant opportunities for well-prepared NGOs to raise significant money with the right approach, amount of resources, and investment of time.
