The Vault Has Opened!
Linda has given access to her private collection of samples, templates and secrets! Fundraisers can purchase a subscription to the exclusive collection for $59 per year. A subscription to the Fundraisers' Private Vault willl give you access to dozens of the fundraising tools Linda personally uses in her consulting business and ones that will help you succeed in your development career, too.

Of course, visitors will still find the hundreds of free Tools, Tip Sheets and Tutorials that have made the CAPITAL VENTURE website the #1 resources for thousands of fundraisers every day. The Fundraiser's Private Vault is simply the next step up for those of you who are trying to offset budget cuts by taking on more fundraising tasks.

As you will notice this month, more content is constantly being added to the free area and the subscription-area.
