Sitting on the deck this summer, the clouds are wafting past. Your mind wanders to how you can strengthen the impact of your work.

Stronger Philanthropy offers two self-paced courses for charities and major donors:

• Maximize My Membership is a free mini-course to highlight the advantages of joining our Stronger Philanthropy Community. With over 220 members, our community keeps growing and provides unusual access to a network of engaged folks on the generosity journey together.
• Design and Submit a Fantastic Grants Application is a paid 13-module course to walk you through the creation of a grant application for major donor families. Over 20 downloadable handouts and a sample grant application make this a resource to strengthen your connections to generous families.

Henrietta Lam, Director of Development, Divine Renovation, says: “Many of the Courses out there are offered by fundraisers or grant-seekers, but yours is unique because you offered insights from a major donor or a Foundation’s perspective. The templates were especially helpful! The Course is definitely a keeper and I’d recommend it to others in the field, including the Canadian Association of Gift Planners (CAGP).”
