The New CFRE Review Course is Here!

| James R. Holcomb- Co-Chair | Fran Lobpries - Co-Chair |
The CFRE Review Course offers development professionals an opportunity to review the main components of a complete fundraising program. It is a two-day, intensive program the purpose of which is to provide an overview of skills, techniques and program components based on fundraising experience at the five-year level.
Unlike earlier versions of the course, the revised course is organized around the domains of the CFRE examination rather than specific fundraising strategies.
New and Improved Topics include:
• Why Philanthropy? An Overview of Fundraising & Its Concepts
• Current & Prospective Donor Research
• Marketing and Communications for Fundraising & Development
• Developing a Comprehensive Solicitation Program
• Building and Sustaining Relationships
• Securing the Gift
• Volunteer Involvement
• Management
• Accountability
In addition, the participant manual will contain test taking tips and
sample exam questions provided by CFRE International.
Participants receive:
• Participant manual
• Approximately 14 hours of instruction
• A certificate of completion at the end of the course
plus, a head start for taking the CFRE Exam!
Here is what the VP Research, AFP International had to say:
"James has my highest recommendation as an instructor and course organizer. In addition to teaching, he coaches people who have questions about nonprofit fundraising and the certification process. He is a delightful person who really cares about the people with whom he comes in contact. And, of course, you can’t beat Fort Worth/Dallas hospitality!
Good luck with your certification process."
