“Industry-leading training is at the forefront of everything we do at BrightDot. Members of our staff have trained everyone from the highest net-worth individuals to college presidents; from members of the Special Forces to hundreds of development personnel across myriad industries.
We started as a training company for fundraisers. We discovered the best fundraisers in the country are the most emotionally intelligent among us. For BrightDot, it’s not just about the search; it’s about advancing the development community to help bring our motto—’Donor. Dreams. Delivered.’—into reality. Let us help you on your journey bring your dreams into reality, too.”
