Workshop Description: The Executive Certificate in Religious Fundraising (ECRF) is a fundraising course with a practical application project. It provides the research, tools, and customized training to meet the growing needs of leaders in religious communities and fundraisers of faith-based organizations. The focus of the ECRF is on the cultural, organizational, and philanthropic practices unique to religious institutions. These practices, in turn, enable donors motivated by spiritual and religious values to experience the joy of generous giving.
Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology is pleased to host an in-person cohort of the ECRF, offered by the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving at the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy. This cohort meets over three days in person on the Saint Meinrad campus, followed by digital content and a Zoom session, so participants can carry the work forward at their own pace.
