The Professional Advancement Development (PAD) Program

Created in response to an urgent need among higher education Advancement divisions for more efficient and effective major gift fundraising, Professional Advancement Development (PAD) is an innovative program that delivers sustainable fundraising improvements.

By engaging participants in a combination of individual coaching, small-group
workshops and hands-on application
they learn to discover, qualify, cultivate and
solicit/close more efficiently.

PAD generates results without compromising fundraisers’ ability to develop strong,
honest and productive relationships with prospects and donors.

This balanced approach produces measurable and sustainable results because it
embraces both the strategic and interpersonal elements of fundraising.

Fundraising clients develop:

  • Donor Insight
  • Enhanced qualification, communication and facilitation skills
  • A reliable and scalable fundraising process

Competency Building vs. Training

Our approach is intended to permanently influence the behavior of fundraising
professionals through regular interactions that focus on the practical application of a
consistent process and effective tools. Results come from permanently positively
affecting fundraising behaviors vs. holding periodic training events and hoping for higher yields.

Curriculum

skills for fundraisers. Delivered in a sequence that allows new material to build upon
previous sessions, most clients also benefit from customized learning modules that are added as part of an overall program.
