FUNDRAISING MASTERCLASS FOR NONPROFITS *
You are 1 campaign away from funding the change you’ve always known was possible.
At Komselj, our Fundraising Masterclass is an intensive, cohort-based program designed to empower smaller nonprofits with advanced strategies in storytelling, donor retention, inclusive communications, and sustainable revenue growth.
Rooted in our mission to support nonprofits in sharing their visions meaningfully—while connecting them to aligned philanthropists—we carefully select participants to ensure a collaborative, high-impact learning environment.
This masterclass draws from our expertise across reproductive healthcare, human rights, girls' education, WASH, and community-led entrepreneurship in 13+ countries, helping organizations achieve tangible, equitable outcomes.
We accept only 10 nonprofits per cohort .
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority for those demonstrating alignment with our values of social progress, inclusivity, and sustainability.
REGISTRATION ENDS 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE START DATE
Mission Alignment
Causes addressing systemic inequality in areas like girls' education, reproductive healthcare, human rights, climate resilience, WASH, or community-led entrepreneurship.
Nonprofits operating in or serving communities across the Global South, marginalized groups, or underserved regions. Priority for women-led, BIPOC-led, or disability-focused organizations.
Leadership Commitment
Founder/Executive Director or senior fundraising lead must commit to full participation (live sessions, homework, peer accountability).
Sustainable change requires dedicated leaders ready to implement inclusive, story-driven strategies for long-term donor relationships.
Current Challenges
Demonstrated need for growth in areas like donor retention (below 40%), storytelling effectiveness, digital fundraising, or recurring revenue streams.
We seek organizations poised for amplification—helping them reach philanthropists and institutions aligned with their goals.
Sustainability Ethos
Commitment to eco-friendly practices (e.g., digital campaigns, low-carbon events) and ethical fundraising (no poverty porn, dignity-first storytelling).
We champion inclusivity and equity, ensuring diverse voices shape solutions for those most affected by inequality. This aligns with our core value of sustainable solutions that honor communities and the planet.
