Services
I offer my coaching and fundraising expertise in these areas:
mission & vision
Beautifully articulating your raison d'etre and what you hope to create going forward is often harder than it sounds. Yet it's absolutely critical to share your vision, if you want to inspire partners and supporters and stay motivated to do the work.
analysis
Honestly evaluating the current scenario is crucial to knowing how to be more successful. Investigating the details usually reveals important insights that inform all other aspects.
strategy
Your unique circumstances and resources define the range of effective strategies and tactics that position you for success. Stay focused on the path you choose.
training
Fundraising, leadership, planning and communication are learned skills that call us to challenge old habits and fears. I love sharing the many tips, tricks and best practices that I've found useful along the way, in group settings or one-on-one.
coaching
Even the most motivated people benefit from support. Coaching conversations invite us to become aware of patterns, blind spots, and possibiities that can be hard to see when we keep our thoughts to ourselves.
research
There are so many opportunities out there, you could run yourself ragged trying to pursue them all. Gathering specific data on potential donors, organizations and resources allows you to prioritize your work. And the internet makes it easy!
writing
The ability to articulate in writing is absolutely critical for important requests like grant applications and gift proposals. From annual reports to job descriptions, invitations, and even emails, you are what you write. Make sure you convey your message.
systems
Consistency can feel like a hobgoblin, but it builds trust in your organization and in your commitments. Creating and documenting processes frees you from having to remember (and forget) details every time.
magic
It happens all the time: the unexpected, synchronistic events that lead to new connections, opportunities, and financial windfalls. If we do our prep work ahead of time, we'll be ready when the moment strikes!
