Hi everyone. Today we’re going to continue our conversation about a vital, multi-billion-dollar industry that seeks to help societies and people around the world function better, including in the communities where you live. I’m speaking about fund raising.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, we covered such topics as what the different kinds of fund raising are, how fund raising has evolved over the past few decades, differences in how funds are raised around the world, and COVID 19’s impact on the fund-raising industry thus far.

In Part 2 of this series, we’ll speak more about the latest fund-raising approaches, what the near-term future of fund raising may look like, what OPPORTUNITIES the industry has to offer those in the know, and how you can determine if a non-profit cause is worth your donor dollars, volunteer time, or other support.

To help us do that, we’re again going to speak with our great fund-raising expert, Matt Hugg. Matt is an author and instructor in nonprofit management in the US and abroad. He is president and founder of Nonprofit.Courses, an on-demand, eLearning educational resource for nonprofit leaders, staff, board members, and volunteers, with thousands of courses in nearly every aspect of nonprofit work.

Matt has taught nonprofit management at several universities and technology companies, online and in person in the United States, Africa, Asia and Europe. Matt’s past work includes fundraising for the University of the Arts, Ursinus College, University of Cincinnati and the Boy Scouts of America. He has a BS from Juniata College and an MA in Philanthropy and Development from St. Mary’s University of Minnesota.
