Occasionally we blog about new companies and new products that we feel may be of interest to NOZA’s subscribers , and today a new company has launched that offers a rather unique value proposition to fundraisers and researchers seeking to expand their skills and knowledge .  WorkingPhilanthropy.com announced today it has begun offering eLearning courses to the fundraising community (note to AFP members – WorkingPhilanthropy is an  Approved Provider of CFRE™ Continuing Education, so you will receive educational credits for the courses being offered). The first course is a monthly eLearning newsletter, 15th & Lawson, is focused on “Where’s the money now!?” The subject matter experts are David and Lori Lawson, two people who have been in the fundraising field for years.  Future courses will be on a variety of fundraising related topics including prospect management, gift accounting, and change management. Along with David & Lori, there is a great group of people you know and trust who will be Subject Matter Experts for WorkingPhilanthropy.com.   Unlike webinars, WorkingPhilanthropy.com is using the latest eLearning technology to create a learning environment where you control the path and pace of your experience. All subscribers are given a private portal to view and manage all of the courses they subscribe to. We talked to David and he said “Lori and I have spent our careers sharing our knowledge and expertise and WorkingPhilanthropy.com provides us an opportunity to do this in a way not possible in a traditional learning environment such as a conference or even a webinar.” Lori pointed out that “Professional development budgets are going to be cut during these extremely difficult times and we hope that WorkingPhilanthropy.com can help to fill the gap by providing effective learning at a price that works.”   Definitely a site worth checking out. Be sure to watch the demo at WorkingPhilanthropy.com
