The Fund Raising School is a vital part of the most established and comprehensive institution in the world teaching the art and science of philanthropy.

The depth and breadth of our expertise positively impacts all levels of nonprofit organizations.

Through the spring of 2016, we’ll be sharing examples of our impact through stories of Habitat for Humanity in Indiana, where the statewide organization and its network of local affiliate chapters are among the top 10 Habitat for Humanity builders in the U.S.

Sr. Jane Michele McClure is the Major Gifts Officer for Habitat for Humanity of Evansville, IN.

McClure says The Fund Raising School transformed her approach to development by equipping her with the skills she needs to conduct successful donor conversations. Better able to relate with donors on a personal level, she’s connecting donors’ passions with her organization’s mission and achieved a nearly 20 percent increase in donor retention.

Daniel Klein is the Board President for Habitat for Humanity of Indiana.

Klein says seeing the success enjoyed by the Evansville fundraising team, and others, after working with The Fund Raising School made it clear to him that every Habitat affiliate in Indiana could benefit from the opportunity to access the School's leading programs and curriculum, a push he and fellow board members have made in recent years. Today, the Habitat for Humanity network in Indiana is among the top 10 U.S. fundraisers for the organization, despite operating in just the sixteenth most populace state.
