Mission Increase and WinShape Leadership offer fundraising training for nonprofit leaders

Mission Increase, a leading organization in nonprofit leadership and fundraising, has partnered with WinShape Leadership to offer a unique fundraising training opportunity for nonprofit leaders. The training, taking place at WinShape Retreat in Rome, Georgia, from October 12-16, aims to equip nonprofit executives with the tools and knowledge to drive their organizations forward.

The Nonprofit Fundraising Intensive, a three-day immersive program, is designed for chief executive officers, chief advancement officers, and executive directors. It offers a hands-on curriculum that helps participants develop a comprehensive fundraising plan in real time. According to Dan Davis, president and CEO of Mission Increase, the intensive is "a powerful opportunity for leaders to build champions and advance their mission."

"This training is particularly significant for those aiming to secure certification through CFRE International," noted Davis, referring to the organization's initial and recertification process for fundraising professionals. The Nonprofit Fundraising Intensive is eligible for 10 points in Category 1.B-Education.

For a more accessible introduction to fundraising, WinShape Leadership is hosting the Nonprofit Leader Collective. This session, while not as intensive, will provide a broader foundation for a wider group of leaders, helping them navigate the complexities of growth in their organizations. Allen Nunnally, senior director of WinShape Leadership, emphasized the importance of fundraising, stating, "Fundraising is a vital area of development for nonprofit organizations. Mission Increase provides the practical tools and confidence leaders need to fund their mission."

Mission Increase, founded in 1999, has been serving nonprofit leaders for over two decades. The organization's framework, which has helped more than 10,000 nonprofits, is now available globally through Mi Academy, an online platform offering training in eight specialties and built-in coaching support through Mi Advisor, an artificial intelligence assistant.

"WinShape Retreat provides the perfect environment for these intensive training sessions," said Davis. "We are excited to collaborate with WinShape Leadership to offer these transformative experiences to nonprofit leaders."

Mission Increase is making the training sessions available to a broader audience, with registration information available on their website. Participants can visit [https://leadership.winshape.org/events/] to register for the Nonprofit Fundraising Intensive or the Nonprofit Leader Collective.

Both programs are designed to shift the perspective of nonprofit leaders from viewing fundraising as a burden to an opportunity to develop champions who will advance their missions.
