Mission
The Mission of Fundraising Academy Online, Inc. (FAO) is to offer quality off-campus, non-residential, programs to a special population of self-directed, adults, utilizing a combination of distance learning and correspondence methodologies.
FAO is committed to meeting the needs of qualified, highly motivated, independent students whose geographic, professional or personal time constraints keep them from continuing their education in traditional, on-campus education programs. FAO is committed to offering a curriculum which challenges our students to integrate their professional and life experience through independent, self-paced instruction under faculty supervision, which does not require attendance at any specific location, either on or off campus.
The Academy is committed to operate ethically and professionally, with academic integrity and respect for the individual; to cultivate in our students and graduates the same intellectual, analytical and critical abilities encouraged by other institutions of higher learning; and to build students competencies in areas critical to their success in today’s ever changing environment.
