Hi, I'm Alison!
I am a passionate nonprofit fundraiser who has raised millions for mission-driven causes and an enthusiastic entrepreneur whose mission is to help 5,000 nonprofits deepen their impact by growing their income.
Let me tell you my story...
At the age of 16, I organized my first nonprofit fundraiser. After being a full-time nonprofit fundraiser for more than 12 years, I decided to dip my toes into the entrepreneurial space.
Ever since, I have found immense joy in flexing my creativity, sharing my knowledge to help nonprofits, pushing my comfort zone, and discovering things that I couldn't learn in the classroom.
One year ago, I decided to take the next step and share my knowledge with those who are new to fundraising and philanthropy. This decision brought me to Udemy, where I am able to combine my biggest talents: nonprofit fundraising, building a culture of philanthropy, and teaching.
My teaching philosophy on Udemy is simple:
I am crafting courses that are clear, make fundraising, feel simple and easy, and instill confidence into my students… the type I wish I had when I first started raising mission-driven funds.
My courses serve a very important goal:
helping you to transform your nonprofit by giving you the skills and confidence, you need to become a successful fundraiser.
I've seen the impact a solid fund development plan, strategies, tactics, and the culture to support it can have on a nonprofit and its mission. That's why I can only encourage you not to miss out on this opportunity.
I am just getting started, and I am so excited that you are here to join me.
As of today (my second month) I've sold more than 50 courses, established a successful online business (The Fundraising Shop), and have helped over 800 nonprofits increase their impact by increasing their income.
So, that's my story. But now, I just want to ask you a simple question.
Do you want some help?
Do you want to establish your own nonprofit, become a nonprofit fundraiser, or simply generate more income for your current organization?
Great! Because I am sure I am going to be able to help you. Feel free to check out my course portfolio and let's see if we can work together.
Let’s do this,
Alison Clare Baldree
