On the subject of professional development and training in English that is
actually helpful, NGO Catalyst is offering an Excel for Fundraisers course
in two weeks, Wednesday March 14th for only 250NIS, an excellent price for
a professional Excel course tailored to your field. I hope that everyone
who doesn't feel great with Excel will take it. It is such a big help.
Please forward to your more junior colleagues in the field for the other
courses.

NGO Catalyst’s general course is unique in that it provides comprehensive
tachlis skills – that people typically only learn from years of on the job
experience and many people never learn at all: like how to set up your
files and spread sheets, what financial records you need to keep and how,
what giving vehicles are and how to manage them, prospect and wealth
assessment research websites and how to access and read foundation tax
documents, private donor cultivation and stewardship protocols, and more.
This course is excellent for those already working in the field but who
have never had any formal training as well as for those totally new to the
field and looking to just get started. Job search and networking assistance
is provided for all students seeking work. Continued mentoring can also be
available for the first month after job placement.
Cost: 1990NIS* with discount for new olim
