The greatest potential we have as a network to increase giving, and thereby impact our communities, is by continuing to grow and strengthen our major gift programs. This unique opportunity, offered with Veritus Group, offers comprehensive major gift training opportunities, with a Tocqueville twist, for United Way network professionals whether veteran or new-to-the-craft. This unique virtual opportunity is a multi-media extravaganza of learning and also offers up to 36 CFRE credits.

The Certification Course for Managers and Executives is a comprehensive training designed to support non-profit leaders seeking to strategically and impactfully establish a system and structure that will create major gifts success.

Maximize your fundraising by asking for planned gifts. In this six-week virtual course, learn how to communicate with donors about their wealth and their financial assets – not just their cash – and learn how a planned gift can provide them with current income, an inheritance for their heirs and a legacy through your charitable organization. Then, after learning the foundation of planned giving, dive into our newly added United Way specific module, focusing on building a planned giving program in your local United Way!

A program for new United Way professionals. Through two short sessions you will learn the basics of United Way: our vision and mission, our superpowers, our history, and opportunities. Set yourself up for success – locally and within the worldwide Network. Offered quarterly to support new team members’ success.
