Once again, NCF is proud to be offering our #NCFCharityPartners professional development opportunities, right here in our own backyard. After another successful year of workshops in 2023, we heard from participants how valuable these sessions can be for large and small shops alike. We are pleased to be able to offer CFRE Certified training right here in Niagara, empowering the charitable sector to be competent, prepared, and equipped professionals in their field.
This Winter and Spring, we are offering a number of sessions to enhance your toolbelt. Presented by Niagara Community Foundation and Armstrong Strategy Group, the topics chosen in this series were chosen by YOU our charity partners. Over the next few months, we will be hosting five sessions, offering you training to meet your organization’s needs.
Register for one event or a couple at a time to access discounted pricing.
The first three sessions are available for registration now!
