About this course

In this course you run the numbers of one fictional charity's online fundraising in eight interactive spreadsheet labs. You turn walk registrations into a fundraiser funnel, sort pages into amount bands with COUNTIFS and SUMIFS and measure the share of the top fundraisers with LARGE. You read a gift log by page and weekday, pace a giving day by the hour with HOUR, TIME and SUMIFS, and apply a capped matching gift with MIN. You compare appeal email segments per 1,000 sends, gross up cover-the-fee gifts, and finish with cost per new donor and a chart. Every rule is simplified and fictional, and every cell is checked instantly.
