Written By Sherry Quam Taylor

This week I had the privilege of being on the Philanthropy Masterminds Series webcast with my client and colleague, Yamilee Toussaint, Founder and CEO of STEM From Dance! You are all familiar with this great series hosted by Donorsearch and Jay Frost. 

We talked about BIG visions, BIG growth, and BIG donations. ← Yamilee is the Queen of this BTW.

Here’s why I want you to listen to this episode….

First, her org is on a mission to end race and gender disparity in STEM. According to the National Science Foundation, 29% of people employed in STEM fields are women, while Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Latina women make up just 4.87%. 

She's planning on changing those percentages. There are a number of strategies and tactics fueling Yamilee’s success and have her ahead of her 10X growth schedule.

Sherry Quam Taylor works with growth-minded Nonprofit CEOs who are scaling their organizations but still need larger amounts of general operating support to truly grow. She breaks their teams free from the limitations of transactional fundraising and helps them reimagine their entire approach to revenue generation.

The high-performing leaders Sherry works with want to find and secure more unrestricted revenue from investment-level donors. They simply need more funding to do what’s in their Strategic Plan. To achieve this, she transforms their teams and boards into high-ROI revenue generators - revealing how they can align every hour they spend fundraising with new principles that double and triple donation sizes.

As a result of learning her methodology, Sherry’s clients regularly add 7-figures of gen-ops revenue to their bottom line by learning how to attract investment-level donors that WANT to fund their work. But the biggest transformation they experience is knowing the exact strategy, path, and team that will propel them to generate the 2-10X dollars their strategic plans require.

Sherry attributes the success of her business to her passion for modeling radical confidence to the future CEOs in her house - her two teenage daughters.
