Certificate in Fundraising Copywriting (22nd September 2025)

New online boot camp ~ Based on the latest research from the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy (Drs. Jen Shang and Adrian Sargeant) ~ with personal critiques of your donor communications stuff by them and by international fundraising copywriter and donor retention communications experts.

• You'll learn how to put the stunning discoveries of Philanthropic Psychology (the specialty of Drs. Shang and Sargeant) to work across a full range of your donor communications.• This new boot camp keeps the theory to a minimum — though we are talking science, so you will encounter a number of lucrative A/B split tests and other recent research.

• You'll also learn about AIDA: a groundbreaking, fortune-making sales formula you've (alas) probably never heard of (see below).

• This is a 4-module, 4-week boot camp, delivered entirely online. You'll devote 5 hours each week/each module — at your convenience, though — to reading, listening, and completing assignments.

• You'll share your assignments with other students, receiving expert instructor commentary, in a completely safe environment, at a relaxed pace.

• During this limited-enrollment 4-week boot camp, you will examine many real-world fundraising communications — a rich library of successful examples you can "model" on (a.k.a., steal from).

• At just £1570 +VAT per registrant, your charity's return on this educational investment is likely to multiply many times ... likely within a year. Commonly, charities that embrace this training double their donations within 12-18 months. (1,000%? We can't promise that kind of ROI ... but it did happen for one major children's hospital.)

• Do you hold a certificate from The Fundraising Standard, an 8-week online certificate program for newbie fundraisers just starting their careers? Again, this could be the perfect follow-on.

• Do you hold a CFRE? This could be the perfect follow-on and is worth 20 Continuing Education CPD points.
