Fundraising Strategy Coaching for Nonprofit Leaders

I believe nonprofits are undeniably vital to our community. So I collaborate with you in a coaching relationship to help you get clear, confident, and strategic in your fundraising efforts. Because when we make your fundraising work for you, you can have more fun, raise more money, and help more people. I’m here for you as a thought partner to walk with you and answer your challenging fundraising questions, someone to help you make sense of all the endless ideas coming from all directions, and someone to provide structure and guidance so you can successfully get the team and the board on the same page.

Having a Strategic Plan can be the best way to ensure organizational effectiveness and preparation for the future. Reconnect your board members with their passion for the cause and create a solid three-year strategic plan. First, we explore in depth where your organization is now and start to develop ideas for future direction. Then we articulate detailed goals and objectives focused on sustainable strategies. You will walk away with a written strategic plan, a detailed implementation spreadsheet, and a foundation for long term growth.

Sometimes you need to start by making sure your team is operating from the same information. I’ve been a front-line fundraiser, board member, volunteer, event chair, and donor over the last few decades. I enjoy using that experience to create engaging and informative trainings for staff members and board members which result in your team feeling more confident and ready to take action. My trainings are always a fun combination of information, large group discussion, small group conversations, and activities. Here’s a short list of some of the topics I cover: creating an annual fundraising plan, board orientation and engagement, strategic planning, peer-to-peer fundraising, succession planning, ethical storytelling and campaign preparation.
