About RaiseMN Learning

Wondering how to grow giving to your cause in the coming year? You’re not alone. Let’s level up your fundraising together. 

To help you meet your 2025 fundraising goals and support your year-long success, we’re offering new learning opportunities designed with you and your needs in mind! This year you can enjoy not only an expanded series of Learn-Along webinars, but also four brand-new Intensive workshops.

These year-long solutions will help you build on what you already know and raise more money throughout the year.


Who

Learn-Alongs and Intensives are designed for fundraisers at all levels, and at organizations of all sizes. Based on where you’re at, you may be ready for one or both!

  • New and Volunteer Fundraisers
    Learn-Alongs: these 1-hour webinars are great for new or situational fundraisers (volunteer, event-based, etc.) who want to build on their success, run great campaigns, and raise more money this year. If you’re new to the field or to GiveMN.org, or if you’re looking for a quick, virtual solution, Learn-Alongs are great for you. 

  • Full-time Fundraisers and Fundraising Leaders
    Intensives: these 2-day in person events are great for intermediate fundraising leaders looking to advance their careers and who work at small-to-medium-sized nonprofits. If you’ve attended our trainings before and are looking to build on what you’ve learned, or if you’re looking for a longer in-person training, Intensives are a great solution for you.

Is cost a factor: Due to the time commitment and format, Learn-Alongs are $45 to attend, and Intensives are $1,500. If you’re just dipping your toe in the water, Learn-Alongs are a great first RaiseMN experience. Intensives are a great option for individuals and organizations who are looking to invest in long-term success.
