Professional Education Guide 2022


Foreword FIA is committed to supporting members and the broader fundraising community through quality professional development and training. Our 2022 program has been developed based on member and sector feedback and aims to meet the needs of our community in advancing ethical, best-practice fundraising. The ongoing impacts of the pandemic have meant many charities are facing significant increases in demand for their services, so it has never been more vital for fundraisers to be effective, innovative and agile in how they raise funds. In so doing, organisations can continue operating and helping their beneficiaries. Investing in skill development always has a positive return on investment for all stakeholders. In 2022, FIA will continue to offer a range of tutor-led online courses as well as a plan for a return to our popular face-to face-delivery in the second half of the year. As before, we offer courses at all levels and delivery modes from three-hour workshops to intensive two-day courses as well as our popular Certificate and Diploma courses.

2 Professional Education Guide 2022

Our mentoring program will also return in 2022. If you are looking for a mentor to help you with aspects of your career, or you are interested in becoming a mentor yourself, please look out for applications in June 2022. Whether you are a junior fundraiser, a mid-level professional or senior executive, I am confident FIA has a course to suit your needs. Our goal is to be your guide to your career and your professional development as a fundraiser and leader.

Managing vulnerability in the context of donors and supporters is a challenging area for most organisations but it has become increasingly critical that fundraisers understand the cues and clues of vulnerability so you can manage it and reduce risk to your organisation and to the entire fundraising sector. The FIA Code Authority undertakes regular and in-depth monitoring of member charities and often finds this area one lacking in best-practice due to the complexity. For this reason, FIA have developed this new course to assist members to achieve compliance with the FIA Code in Conduct Towards Donors (Clause 4) and in the Practice Note Donors in Vulnerable Circumstances. In this course you will learn ways to manage vulnerability so that you can raise and manage a donor’s gift in ethical and accountable ways. WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?

• All members of a fundraising team, organisation, CEO and board directors For more information, dates and to register

FIA’s National Mentoring Program 2021-2022

CFRE POINTS: 6

FREE FOR ALL FIA MEMBERS

Participating in FIA’s National Mentoring Program is your opportunity to gain advice, offer support and improve your understanding of the non-profit sector. This program is a free benefit of your FIA membership. During the eight-month program, we ask that mentors and mentees meet for a minimum of four 90-minute sessions which can be either face-to-face or online. Each partnership is unique and can be customised to suit the busy schedules and communication styles of your pairing. FIA provides you with a toolkit of resources to help establish your partnership and to support you as either the mentor or mentee, as you work on professional goals together. HOW IT WILL HELP YOUR CAREER

Research from Sun Microsystems showed that those who joined a professional program as mentors were six times more likely to get promoted, with retention rates at a high 69 per cent, compared to 49 per cent for people not involved in a mentoring program. These statistics are correlated to mentors being able to hone their interpersonal skills in listening, coaching, networking and providing constructive feedback. These skills are essential for readying professionals for leadership roles. Applications will open in June 2022; the program kicks off in September. For more details, please head to our website: www.fia.org.au or contact us at training@fia.org.au 27 Professional Education Guide 2022
