The AFP Fundamentals of Fundraising Course is an introductory, 2-day course providing a comprehensive overview of fundraising principles at the fundamental level. The AFP Global course curriculum covers the roles and responsibilities of fundraisers, with emphasis on responsibilities you are likely to encounter at the beginning of your career.

The course is taught in an active learning style and includes case studies and projects for groups and individuals, making the learning experience both substantive and enjoyable. Our Fundamentals in Fundraising course faculty are:

  • Christine Byrd, MBA, CFRE - Director of Development and Communications at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro

The AFP CFRE Refresher Course uses case studies to provide a "refresher" of the six fundraising knowledge domains and the core principles and concepts that all experienced fundraising professionals should know.  While the course is designed as a refresher and not an in-depth review, this 2-day option allows extra time for discussion. 

The course is taught in an active learning style and includes mini case studies ("caselets") for group discussion, making the learning experience both substantive and enjoyable. Our CFRE Refresher course faculty are: 

  • Heather Murphy, CFRE - Executive Director at The Health Foundation
  • Penny Hawkins, CFRE - Associate Vice Chancellor of Development at UNC Charlotte
  • Beth Fischer, JD, CFRE - Vice Chancellor of University Advancement at UNC Greensboro

Both courses will be August 20-21 at Second Harvest Food Bank, 3330 Shorefair Dr NW, Winston-Salem, NC 27105.
