Small Nonprofit Fundraising Intensive

March 12, 2026 9:00 AM - March 13, 2026 5:00 PM (CDT)

Description

Now registering for the second cohort!

Join KNN for the Small Nonprofit Fundraising Intensive - a program specially designed to help small Kentucky nonprofits set and achieve fundraising goals to further their missions (small nonprofits = annual revenue of under $1 million).

The Small Nonprofit Fundraising Intensive draws on the expertise of nationally recognized The Fund Raising School at Indiana University's Lilly School of Philanthropy for an immersive two-day training, paired with a year-long cohort of peer and consultant support. The cohort includes strategies to help your organization stay on track with your fundraising goals through peer connections and facilitated cohort coaching calls. This program helps small nonprofits:

  • Turn new skills into measurable fundraising results
  • Build confidence in donor engagement
  • Leverage limited resources effectively

More than a training, this program provides hands-on, interactive learning and ongoing support to help small nonprofits address real-world fundraising challenges and seize opportunities unique to their organization.

To help you achieve your fundraising goals, you’ll receive:

  • Two-day training with experts from The Fund Raising School, including interactive training on making the ask
  • A comprehensive, easy-to-use study guide with models for future reference
  • Check-ins and support with your Coach/Facilitator and cohort, as well as access to 1:1 coaching
  • Networking and peer support from other professionals in the cohort facing with similar challenges
  • An online community platform for communicating and connecting with your Coach/Facilitator and cohort members
