Center
for Responsible Funding
Among the services of the Center for Responsible Funding (CRF) is the Academy For Fundraising Training. The Academy encompasses three programs: Securing Assets for Grassroots Empowerment (SAGE), Building for Permanence and Money for the Movement. Each of these programs have been expanded in an effort to meet the growing needs of social justice organizations in finding adequate funding resources. SAGE teaches day to day skills, Building for Permanence addresses long term viability and Money for the Movement expands the reach of the Academy by providing a pool of trainers of color to work with their constituencies in the nonprofit sector.
The Academy also offers specialized training to social justice groups which have particular fundraising needs. A trainer will meet with each organization requesting assistance, evaluate their needs, and thereby create a training program suited to their exact needs as requested. These programs could range in scope from a two to four hour board orientation/staff training to a series of consultations. The Academy will also provide referrals for consultation on matters outside of the scope of fundraising as necessary to nonprofit organizations.
