The Specialist Training Program is appropriate for professionals who are:

*New to fundraising

*New to community colleges

*On track to improve their private fundraising and grant writing skills

The comprehensive curriculum assures that each participant will learn the fundamentals of development. Experienced faculty, drawn from successful fundraising programs across the nation, will also share best practices. Additionally, the intense cohort experience (limited to 25 participants) and the immediate development of a peer network provide enduring benefit to participants.

WEEK ONE at the model campus, Central Piedmont Community College (NC) will feature an overview of fundamentals and advanced training emphasizing skills development in private fundraising and grantsmanship.

WEEK TWO in Washington, DC, will focus on public funding sources such as the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Education, and many others. While in Washington D.C. , participants will visit Congress, the American Association of Community Colleges, the Council for Resource Development and the offices of many grant makers.

There will be components of private and public fundraising in both weeks with a focus throughout the program on the development of skills that are common to both private fundraisers and grant seekers. This two-week intensive CRD program provides an in-depth study of fundraising and project management in both the private and the public sectors.
