NPO Fundraising Forum
Is lack of fundraising skills a concern in your NPO?
WISHING you had more money is not a strategy! To WORRY about your organisation’s lack of funds is not a strategy. What is your PLAN to get your non-profit organisation financially sustainable? You need to have a plan. A big part of that plan MUST be to upskill yourself.
What Is The NPO Fundraising Forum?
It is the best available training platform for people working in the non-profit sector.
You will gain access to a library of 24 video lessons of at least 60 minutes each, all relating to improving your Fundraising & Marketing skills.
The focus is on practical applications for you to implement right away. Videos are interactive, engaging and guaranteed to get you into action with new fundraising and marketing tips, skills and ideas.
Any organisation can only be as good as the people working there. Enrolling in the NPO Fundraising Forum will help you grow as a person to serve your organisation and beneficiaries more effectively.

Frequently asked Questions
YOU CAN START TODAY! This training is set up in a way that you can start any time of the year, and watch the videos at a time convenient for you. As long as you take the time to watch all your bi-weekly sessions . . . even if you do it on a Sunday morning 🙂
As soon as you enrol in your preferred membership option, your first video will be released and from there on, you will receive a new training session every 2 weeks.
- Individual membership – annual = R5 400 (once-off payment for a 12-month membership)
- Individual membership – monthly = R540 per month (payable every month for 12-months)
- Office membership– annual = R12 500 (once-off payment for a 12-month membership)
- Office membership – monthly= R1 250 per month (payable every month for 12-months)
The Office membership option will give you permission to enroll up to 5 people working in the same office, same branch and same town. Should one of your staff members enrolled in the NPO Fundraising Forum leave the organisation during their membership period, you will be able to replace him/her with somebody else working at the organisation. You are also welcome to enroll volunteers or board members in the office membership option.
Paying the once-off amount will work out cheaper. You will also not have to worry about a payment going off your account every month, so I recommend you pay the annual fee.
If you want to enrol in one of the two annual membership options, you are welcome to mail me your details for an invoice to pay via EFT. You can also click on the relevant link on this page to pay via Paystack.
If you can’t afford the once-off payment, you are welcome to choose the monthly payment option – as long as you commit to staying part of the training for at least 12 months.
Enrolling in any of the two monthly payment options can only be done with a credit card via my online payment system (Paystack). Look out for the link on this page. Please note that monthly payments cannot be done via EFT.
Remember that you can join as either an individual or an office (max 5 people) so make sure to choose the correct link when you enrol.
The training will be done by myself, Annelise de Jager. To give you additional value, I also invite other experts in the Non-Profit field to teach on a specific subject. You can find out more about my work by clicking here.
You are also welcome to visit my Online Training Academy (www.annelisedejager.training) for information about additional training programs.
You will receive a new training video every 2 weeks that you can watch whenever it is convenient for you.
You can watch the first video as soon as you enrol and I will send you an email every 2 weeks to remind you that the next video is ready. Please do not skip any of the lessons as they will build on each other.
Some lessons might have a little worksheet to ensure that you have watched the video and that you understand the material. Completing your assignments and watching all the videos will qualify you for a certificate at the end of the year.
Remember that you enrol for a year – 12 months – regardless of what time in the year you are starting the journey.
All online training sessions will be available for as long as you are part of the NPO Fundraising Forum. Your initial membership fee will allow you access for 12 months.
This means you can access training on a specific topic, months after the video was released to you. You can watch it as many times as you wish.
I have an NGO training career of more than 30 years, and there are 1 540 people enrolled in 35 various programs of my Online Training Academy. Trust me, you will be in very good hands
Personal development is an integral part of every training session that I do. I believe that to be successful, you need to work harder on yourself than on the things listed in your job description.
My training programs are created with the development of non-profit organisations in mind, but any individual or business will benefit from them. If you implement what you learn from me, success is guaranteed!
The NPO Fundraising Forum is open to anybody involved in a non-profit organisation.
You can be from a school, church or welfare organisation – as long as you are eager to learn and grow your organisation to make a bigger impact. Volunteers and board members as well as people who are in the process of starting up an NGO are also most welcome.
The content will vary from the absolute basics to more advanced stuff – there will be something for everybody!!
The training is guaranteed to add value to you as a person as well as to your Non-Profit. Finding a skilled fundraiser is very difficult, so empowering yourself in this field will, without a shadow of a doubt, enhance your career!
Every training session is designed with a practical approach. While I believe in a solid foundation of theory, getting things done and how to practically implement it, is the main focus of my training programs.
