Coaching

For today's nonprofit leader, success means you have to be willing to change. There's a good chance that the things you're doing today worked in the past, but they just don't seem to be working anymore.

Asking for donations in today's world comes with a new set of challenges like learning new technology, frequent communication, and connecting online.

For many years, we relied on direct mail and event fundraisers. But now, if you want sustainability with consistent funds, you have to embrace change and learn new skills.

In my work, I'm around executive directors, missionaries, and ministry leaders all the time. And the topic of conversation is always the same. It's born out of frustration, trying to cut through the noise, and ultimately figure out how to raise funds in the changing world we live in today.

Here are some struggles I hear every day:

• I've called on everyone I know. What do I do now?
• How do I keep my staff and volunteers motivated to reach our fundraising goal when it feels like it's taking forever?
• I've never had to raise my own support. Where do I start?
• What we've done in the past doesn't seem to be working anymore. What should we do?
• We weren't able to host our annual fundraising event. How do we make up for lost revenue and keep our donors engaged?
• Our staff/volunteers don't love fundraising. How do we get them excited about it?

As a coach, I help you reframe your approach. Together we'll discover what kind of skills you'll need to engage new donors. I'm here to listen, encourage you, hold you accountable, and help you get results.
