Welcome to Metasoft Online Education!

Our team of highly experienced professional educators has developed a suite of online fundraising courses that are designed to help you learn key fundraising techniques and concepts - quickly, flexibly and affordably.

Since 1988, Metasoft Systems has worked with over 13,000 nonprofits worldwide to raise more than $22 billion in funding. This considerable success has been captured in our online education courses in a way that will produce results for all types of learning styles.

Metasoft offers two forms of online education to give you the know-how and how-to of fundraising you need:

1. A series of live and interactive webinar presentations by fundraising experts that are delivered over the internet to your computer

1. Metasoft Online Education modules and lessons that you can do at your own pace, and that take you through all the steps of the foundation fundraising process from creating a compelling Case for Support to writing winning grant proposals.

Metasoft’s series of live webinars include:

• Presentations from top Foundations and Corporations that focus on what they look for in a potential grant recipient or sponsorship partner
• Skill development tutorials and presentations from Metasoft and 3rd party experts that focus on the Foundation and Corporate fundraising process and the best practices required to secure grants
• Presentations showcasing successful FoundationSearch and BIG Online members’ best practices and lessons learned

Each webinar’s presentation is followed by a live question and answer period where you can ask the expert anything you want. All webinars include materials and tool-kits you can put to use immediately after the webinar to supercharge your fundraising efforts. If you miss a webinar, don’t worry, recordings are available for you to view on your computer at your convenience. All webinars are accredited by CFRE and can be used for continuing education points.
