Fundraising Coaching

Are you stuck? Totally stuck?

Maybe your board chair is not responsive. Maybe your development director just left. Maybe you have never been in fundraising before and your goal seems impossible. Maybe you have too much on your plate and you are not sure where to start.

How can you prepare for change or meet your fundraising goals when you are overwhelmed and have limited staff?

Speaking with an external fundraising expert to bounce off ideas and discuss strategies can be incredibly helpful. Instead of committing to a larger project, we provide fundraising coaching packages for five sessions, ten sessions, or fifteen sessions. This service can be for anyone at any level - a seasoned executive, a newbie in fundraising, or even a board chair.

Why Coaching?

One thing that all organizations can count on is there will be a change - someone on staff will leave, a shift in need arises or possibly even a global pandemic disrupts everything.

Coaching is an affordable option to gain support from an external trusted fundraiser who has been through it before. We can help to set you up for success in the long-term by supporting your organization when you need it most.
