“Exponential Fundraising is a breakthrough in the practice of fundraising. I can’t imagine anything that could be more helpful in such a short amount of time and have such profound impact.”
Matt Goldman Co-founder, Blue Man
Group and Blue School

WATCH AS ATTENDEES TALK ABOUT THE UNIQUE CONTENT AND WORKING ALONGSIDE AN EXTRAORDINARY GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS
CEF 2012
Course Kickoff
Beginning with 3 immersive days (June 6-8, 2012) on the Harvard Campus,
participants are exposed to the unique principles of Exponential Fundraising
and its ability to fundamentally transform organizations and the people
associated with them. At the conclusion of the course, each participant
receives a customized road-map for his/her organization to implement the
Exponential Fundraising principles, with suggested checklists and timelines.
A year-long engagement
Over the course of the year, there are three follow-up sessions including a
one-day session on the Harvard Campus at the 6-month mark. Jennifer
personally works with participants to ensure that the core principles of the
program are being successfully implemented.
Exclusive use of shared data
An exciting and powerful feature of the program is that throughout the year
we closely follow and aggregate participants’ actual fundraising results.
Based on this valuable field data, we provide additional content and
management reports.
This data is also tapped by Harvard faculty members to measure and report on
how participants improved their fundraising and philanthropy through the use
of the collaborative, partnership-based approach of Exponential Fundraising.
This is a key factor in helping to reshape the entire field of fundraising
and its importance on the nonprofit sector as a whole.
Applications to be considered for the 2012 CEF class are due March 16, 2012.
