if you’re a nonprofit founder, executive director or development director at an organization with annual individual giving revenue of under $1 million, this group is for you! we specialize in “hard to fundraise for” causes, and we can help you unlock the unrestricted revenue you need to put yourself in the drivers’ seat so you can implement your mission on your terms.

this is also a great program for seasoned fundraisers who need some support and accountability for burnout. so often, we seasoned professionals think we know everything, but there’s value in learning from our other colleagues in the trenches.

month 1 = foundations
assessing the state of your program & learning the Framework

month 2 = donor retention
design a gratitude program

month 3 = finding your WHY
building a solid case for support

month 4 = who gives?
develop your ideal donor personas and the best method to attract your ideal donor to your cause.

month 5 = nurture your people
design your cultivation process to move folks from “aware of” to “invested in” your organization.

month 6 = the ask
figure out the best ways to solicit donors to support your cause—in ways that aren’t “guilt trippy” or “arm twisty.”

month 7 = stewardship
building on month 2, we’ll dig deeper to create a stewardship process that keeps your donors for the long-term.

month 8 = upgrade potential
now that you have donors’ commitment, how will you grow the relationship to more regular or higher levels of giving?

month 9 = the board room
activate and engage your board in fundraising

month 10 = putting it all together
put everything you’ve learned together to keep your program running year-round. no more effort-to-effort; your program will operate at an even keel all the time to keep your current donors and bring in new donors.

months 11+12: expansion
learn more multi-channel campaigns, peer-to-peer fundraising, major donor fundraising, or event-based fundraising. pick a focus area based on your best fundraising options.
