New Technical Assistance Program Published on November 27, 2013

Application period now closed.

Thanks to the generosity of an individual donor, the Peace Development Fund is pleased to offer our fiscal sponsorship grantees technical assistance training. We are developing curriculum modules to help grantees improve their fund-raising capacity, board development and financial management.

We will provide grantees one module each year, beginning January 1, 2014. Our first module will be “Individual Giving: How to set up an individual donor campaign,” offered to only fiscal sponsorship grantees in the first quarter of 2014. The modules will take place on site at the grantees’ offices (or such place as the grantees may designate). PDF trainers will work directly with the grantees, their board, staff and key volunteers. Grantees will be asked to provide lodging for one or more trainers and a $100 underwriting contribution. All other costs will be paid by PDF.

The training will be coordinated by Kathy Sharkey, PDF’s Director of Communications and Outreach. Interested fiscally sponsored grantees are asked to submit an application form with desired dates of training by Friday, January 3, 2014. Training will take place between January 1 and March 31, 2014. Grantees will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis.
