New Online Boot Camp — How to write fundraising copy that makes more money

Based on the latest research from the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy (Drs. Jen Shang and Adrian Sargeant) — with personal critiques of your donor communications by our team of international copywriter and donor retention communications experts.

How to write fundraising copy that makes more money … and (therefore) forces your organization to suddenly realize, “OMG, we’re not paying her nearly enough! Some other charity is bound to steal her.” Or him. Or them. Or you.

In this exclusive ONLINE boot camp, LIMITED to just 20 students:

  • You’ll learn how to put the stunning discoveries of Philanthropic Psychology (Phil Psych; the specialty of Drs. Shang and Sargeant) to work across the full range of your donor communications, online and in print.

  • This focused boot camp keeps the theory to a minimum — and practical application to the max. You'll see how Phil Psych works in emails, websites, direct mail appeals, campaigns, thank you's (and more) to massively improve immediate giving and your donor's lifetime value (a key performance metric).

  • During this limited-enrolment 4-week boot camp, you will analyze a rich library of successful Phil Psych examples you can “model” on (i.e., steal from).

  • This is a 4-module, 4-week boot camp, delivered entirely online. You’ll devote 5 hours each week/each module — at your convenience — to reading, listening, and completing assignments.

  • You’ll share your assignments with other students, receiving expert instructor commentary throughout the 4 weeks, in a completely safe environment, at a comfortable pace.
