"The Virtual Academy provided The Whatcom Family Y the support needed during these unprecedented times. We learned innovative ways to educate and ask our donors and community for their support now and moving forward. It is very helpful to have the extra support to implement new fundraising ideas. The Virtual Academy is a great way to get other Y staff involved in development. I recommend the Academy to anyone looking for fresh fundraising ideas in a supportive team environment."

”Being part of the Virtual Annual Campaign Academy has been a really smart decision for our Y. The blend of theory, tactics, and templates provides something for everyone. The content is fantastic and the To-Do lists for each month take the guesswork out of deciding where to put our effort.”
