Empowering Change: The Philanthropy Forward Scholarship Program

Welcome to the Philanthropy Forward Scholarship Program, an initiative by Advancement Resources dedicated to nurturing the future of philanthropy by empowering smaller organizations through knowledge and development opportunities.

Our Mission:

In a world where the need for philanthropic impact is greater than ever, we believe in sharing whatever we can to help the organizations striving to make a difference. Recognizing that not all nonprofits have the resources to access high-level fundraising and development training, we are offering scholarships of up to $1200 discount at some of our virtual events this year, including: The Art and Science of Donor Development. Full price is $2,950 for the workshop and 3 individual coaching sessions. That goes down to $1,750 with this discount where you will be a full attendee but without individual coaching sessions.

Why Apply?

Access to Expertise: Learn from leading experts in donor development and philanthropy.
Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded professionals and expand your support network.
Enhance Your Impact: Gain insights and tools to increase your organization’s philanthropic effectiveness.

Eligibility:

You must work for a registered nonprofit organization.
Annual fundraising revenue of $50M or below for that organization (includes grants and according to the database we use to lookup info).
The organization must have a need for development training and resources (there must be an ongoing need to raise more funds).
These rules may be relaxed if you have been personally invited to apply by a member of the Advancement Resources team.

How to Apply:

Simply complete our online application form below!

Application Deadline:

No deadline! If you can’t make our next virtual workshop, please still apply and we can hold a future slot for you.
