“Our fundraising volunteers are always learning on the job as none of us has any qualifications or real experience in the field. So e-learning will allow us to work through the material together and help to transform our charity to become more financially sustainable, so that we can go on to help many more Tanzanian children.” – Eleanor Riley, Founder, Made in Hope, What does the course cover?

With voiceovers guiding you along the way and downloadable exercises and resources, you’ll be in a strong position to make the most of this important fundraising stream.
