2025 Learn-Alongs

Presenting our 2025 Learn-Along Calendar!

RaiseMN is excited to share our virtual six-session 2025 Learn-Along calendar, built with the annual donor cycle in mind.

We’ve expanded our selection of Learn-Alongs this year to help nonprofit leaders and fundraisers build on previous success and raise more money throughout the year.

Scroll down to view and learn more about all future Learn-Alongs and to register today!

New in 2025, all RaiseMN learn-alongs are Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) approved and credit eligible! Participants can earn continuing education credits towards a CFRE annual certification.*

*Participation in RaiseMN's 2025 Learn-Alongs may assist you in learning or reviewing concepts covered on the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) examination as detailed on the Test Content Outline provided by CFRE International. CFRE International does not sponsor or endorse any educational programs and the RaiseMN 2025 Learn-Along series was not developed in conjunction with CFRE International.

#NailingIt: Prepping for Your End of Year Fundraising

  • Riverplace | Exposition Hall Meeting Room 43 Main Street Southeast Main Street Minneapolis, MN, 55414 United States (map)

Cost: $140 + processing

The final quarter of the calendar year is a crucial fundraising time for most nonprofits, and for many of us, it’s a scramble. Let’s get you geared up differently this year!

You’ll leave this day-long, interactive training with a head start on planning and tactics that will make your fundraising more successful and less stressful for you and your team.

We’ll tackle defining your audience, how to tell your best fundraising story, how to engage your board, coordinate with your team, and more. We'll spend time thinking about timelines and deadlines for your year-end campaign.

Bonus: in addition to RaiseMN’s Leah Olm, we’re bringing in Jocelyn Wong and Mario Lugay, two extraordinary development visionaries from the San Francisco Bay Area, to share their knowledge and expertise!

Who’s this for?
This session is best for folks who hold responsibility for executing their end of year fundraising efforts for their nonprofits.
