PORTLAND, OR / ACCESS Newswire / September 1, 2026 / Mission Increase, alongside WinShape Leadership, will offer a first-of-its-kind immersive fundraising training opportunity at WinShape Retreat in Rome, Georgia, Oct. 12-16. The experience will include two connected learning events for nonprofit leaders that build on one another throughout the week and are grounded in the principles of Champion Development and Transformational Giving.

Designed for chief executive officers, chief advancement officers, and executive directors, the Nonprofit Fundraising Intensive is a three-day deliverable-driven curriculum in which Mission Increase provides hands-on training to help attendees develop the working pieces of a fundraising plan in real time.

Full participation in the intensive is applicable for 10 points in Category 1.B-Education of the CFRE International application for initial certification and/or recertification. CFRE International is an independent nonprofit organization that administers the Certified Fundraising Executive credential, an internationally recognized voluntary certification for fundraising professionals.

The Nonprofit Leader Collective is a lighter session that provides a broader foundation to a wider group to help executives navigate the real pressures of growth. Both opportunities are designed to help leaders view fundraising not as a burden but as an opportunity to develop champions who advance their mission.

“WinShape has a proven track record of supporting leaders through spiritual formation, leadership development and operational clarity,” said Dan Davis, president and chief executive officer of Mission Increase. “We are honored to come alongside them with training to help mission-driven leaders grow champions.”

“Fundraising is a vital area of development for nonprofit organizations,” said Allen Nunnally, senior director of WinShape Leadership. “Mission Increase provides practical tools, a clear plan, and the confidence that leaders need to fund the mission God has given them.”

Mission Increase’s framework, which has served nonprofit leaders for more than 27 years, is now available globally through Mi Academy, an online platform offering training in eight specialties and built-in coaching support through Mi Advisor, an artificial intelligence assistant.
