The exam tests whether you can do the job. So learn the job.
Most people prepare for the CFRE by memorizing terms. The exam is not a vocabulary test. It puts you in situations a working fundraiser faces and asks what you would do. Raise 101 teaches you the work itself, then hands you a full-length practice exam that behaves like the real one.
What the exam asks, and where you learn it
Six kinds of questions, six modules. When the practice exam shows you a weak spot, there is always one specific module to go back to.
| The exam asks | You learn it in |
|---|---|
| Can you find and research the people most likely to give? | Donor and Prospect Research |
| Can you build the case and actually ask for the gift? | Securing the Gift |
| Can you keep donors giving year after year? | Relationship Building |
| Can you put boards and volunteers to real use? | Volunteer Involvement |
| Can you plan, budget, and measure a program? | Leadership and Management |
| Do you know the ethical lines and what they require? | Ethics and Accountability |
A practice exam that behaves like the real one
50 questions, 75 minutes, and the same balance of topics you will face on exam day. Take it early to find your gaps, study, and take it again. Unlimited retakes.
Every answer explained
Finish and you see more than a score. Every question shows the right answer, why it is right, and why the tempting wrong answers are wrong. Your results are broken down by topic so you know where to study next.
Worth it even if you never sit the exam
The course is fundraising training first. If you decide the credential is not for you, you still walk away knowing how to find donors, ask well, and keep them, with a certificate to show for it.
See the questions for yourself.
