CFRE Review Course
 

The New CFRE Review Course is Here!

If you have been waiting to take the CFRE Review Course…wait no longer!  The new, improved, revised AFP/CFRE Review Course was offered June 24-25, 2009, at the Arlington Convention Center, in conjunction with the DFW Philanthropy Conference.

 

James R. Holcomb- Co-ChairFran 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."

 

Best wishes,
