Non-Profit Fundraising Leadership in a Disrupted World: Is It Time for a New Playbook? with Michael Kiragu

We reframe fundraising as a core leadership responsibility and give you the practical tools to act on it. This course equips you with the strategic thinking, AI-powered tools, and relationship skills to build a resilient, diversified funding base. You'll leave with real, usable assets not just ideas. No advanced technical experience required; just a commitment to the mission your organization was built to serve.
Whether you lead a grassroots organization in the Global South or manage fundraising for an established NGO, this series will help you move from reactive grant-chasing to confident, mission-aligned fundraising leadership.
