Boston, MA July 1, 2009 -- This July, the Center for Professional Education at Boston University'ss Metropolitan College will begin offering their highly respected Certificate in Professional Fund Raising (http://professional.bu.edu/cpe/FinFund.aspsource=90432) in a convenient online course.

This is exciting news for those who do not live in proximity to Boston University, but who seek nonprofit fund raising jobs and career advancement to overcome the challenges of a weak economy and revised laws on charitable deductions by learning more creative ways to achieve their development goals.

Now, students around the nation can take advantage of this same curriculum with the online Fund Raising certificate course.

Led by Roger Broome, a prominent figure in the field with forty-plus years of experience, the twelve-week online Fund Raising course covers all aspects of a comprehensive development plan: capital campaigns; strategic planning; planned and estate giving; development research; annual giving and stewardship; corporate and foundation giving; volunteer leadership; and web-based fund raising. The online classroom experience is enhanced by discussions and guest lectures by senior philanthropy officers from across the non-profit sector.

Participants will learn how to strengthen current partnerships, tap into younger donors, and develop strategic tactics while networking with colleagues from across the country. The curriculum also serves as excellent preparation for the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) exam.

The online Certificate in Professional Fund Raising starts July 20.
