Nonprofit Movie Mondays:
Free Weekly Fundraising Training

Back in April 2008, Chris Davenport started the Nonprofit Movie Mondays series, and it's been an absolute hit ever since!

It's a FREE subscription that I highly recommend you sign up to.

So What is it?

• It's FREE online fundraising training videos.
• Released every Monday.
• Featuring top professional fundraisers, nonprofit directors, board members, and some of the top rated Fundraising Experts.
  
• Essentially... It's fantastic fundraising information and training.
  
  

So who is Chris Davenport?

Chris is a professional documentary filmmaker who first dipped his toe into Nonprofit and fundraising storytelling back in 2001, when he was asked to do his first fundraising video for a local hospital foundation.

He realized then how powerful Nonprofit impact stories can be, as the foundation raised twice the amount of their goal.

He then continued to focus his filmaking skills on telling stories through video for Nonprofits. As part of his marketing he then produced a series of videos of fundraising professionals sharing their successes.

It was HIT.

He began receiving many emails begging him for more.

And so the Nonprofit Movie Mondays series was born, and there's been an episode every Monday, ever since April 2008.

And So It Grew:

Chris then began receiving emails asking for all videos from specific fundraising subjects. For example all videos on Training Board Members, or all videos on Event Fundraising...

So Chris started putting DVDs together, and full training courses, on different fundraising methods and aspects. Like the 100 Donors in 90 Days system (read my review).

And The Nonprofit Best Practices Shop Was Born!

Nonprofit Best Practices has some absolutely incredible training courses and DVDs that I recommend to many organizations.

Some of the most popular products are...

• 100 Donors in 90 Days - Multiple Authors
  
• The Donor Retention Project - Multiple Authors
• Event Fundraising Series - By Shanon Doolittle
• Writing for Results - Tom Ahern

But let's get back to the Movie Monday series...
