ORGANIZATIONS
3 credits.
Explores the philosophy of fundraising and development, its bearing

sustain these noble efforts, these dynamic organizations must attract

Fundraising programs are a significant part of a NPO's work in bringing
resources to support their fund development/institutional advancement.
Development is a mindset - a way to frame the NPO's thinking and
behaviors in providing a comprehensive approach to broad mission
support.
