I came to the course because I wanted to systematize my experience with the help of fundraising experts, to clarify the approaches of creating application budgets, to find out what donors are guided by when considering proposals. During the training I really liked the understandable presentation of the material, everything is well structured. I would like to single out a session with Dina Volynets on budgeting. It is good that there were tasks after each module.

My knowledge of receiving grant funds was structured, some myths were dispelled. I understood what the goal, goals, results are.
The problem I wanted to solve was to improve and systematize knowledge in the field of fundraising. My training consisted of three stages: a strategic fundraising session with co-workers; two-day training at Synergy Academy and further support and assistance.
During the course, I gained basic knowledge on the topic of fundraising.
