Thank you for your interest in the Taking Donors Seriously® Fundraising Essentials training program. The roots of our program run deep, with a rich history spanning over four decades. It all began in 1982 when Bill Hautt laid the foundation for FOCUS Consultants as a sole proprietorship. Bill's visionary teachings and the fundamental principles of our current fundraising framework—Case, Leadership, Prospects, Strategy, and Plan—have paved the way for exceptional fundraising success.

 

In a landscape filled with fundraising training programs, TDS stands out for its unwavering emphasis on cultivating authentic relationships over a transactional, sales-driven approach. This mindset shift will guide you in creating meaningful connections that will leave a lasting impact. No matter where you are in your fundraising journey, these modules and workshops contain wisdom for everyone.

 

The FOCUS Group's dedicated staff and coaches are fully committed to supporting your success. Together, we will help you become more effective and faithful in fulfilling God's calling so you can keep moving forward with confidence and passion and ensure your mission is fully funded.
