About Leadership Gift School
 
Leadership Gift School brings together a cohort of nonprofit CEOs and development directors who work together to build their organization's capacity for leadership giving.  The program includes five 5-hour sessions, including two that include members of each nonprofit's board.  Over the course of nine cohorts, LGS has developed a unique experience to build highly trained teams who can effectively advance the way fundraising is implemented. As a member of this peer learning community, you will discover what it takes to build and grow the most successful philanthropy program possible for your unique organization. Throughout the five sessions, you will hear from experts and donors, and participate in class and out-of-class assignments to ensure the effective implementation of LGS principles.

Over the last nine years, 182 nonprofit leaders from 85 nonprofit organizations have graduated from this highly acclaimed program, evaluated by an independent UNCC study.
