Dear Nancy,

The Fundraising School at Indiana University's Center on Philanthropy has
courses which specialize in this topic.  Check out their website at:
www.tcop.org.

You may also want to check out the on-line offerings (if any) of IU's
Payton Philanthropic Studies Library (reached from TCOP's site).
