The Council for Resource Development is the premier professional association for community college fundraisers. Its highly regarded Specialist Training Program is a two-week intensive introduction to all facets of resource development in the community college. It has been a training ground for many of the most successful community college fundraisers in the nation.
Who Should Attend: The Specialist Training Program is appropriate for professionals who are new to fundraising, new to community colleges or want to improve their private fundraising and grant writing skills. The comprehensive curriculum assures that each participant will learn the fundamentals of development. Experienced faculty, drawn from successful fundraising programs across the nation, will also share best practices. Additionally, the intense cohort experience (limited to 25 participants) and the immediate development of a peer network provide enduring benefit to participants.

Week Two in Washington, DC will focus on public funding sources such as the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Education, and many others.
