One thing I want Nonprofit Executive Directors to hear from me?

You and your fundraising team have WAY MORE control over WHEN and HOW MUCH money you bring in than you think.

This is high-touch, individualized work, and I can only take on so many organizations at once.

If you've been reading along and wondering whether this is the year to make the shift, here's my honest answer: the leaders who get the biggest results are the ones who stop waiting for the "right" moment and just start. 

I get some version of this question often: "Can you just coach me for a few months?"

I understand why leaders ask. Six months feels more manageable than twelve. But sprint engagements are for a deliverable or an assessment. They're not enough to move an organization onto a new revenue path.

Budgeting season has a way of surfacing the same question every year: how do we grow the budget (thus, revenue) without growing the risk? 

Maybe this was you just two months ago?

Have you ever wondered if your planned giving program might hurt your other fundraising?

 Honestly, decades ago I was in this camp.

 But, studies prove otherwise. And Tony has convinced me otherwise.

Let’s talk about fully funding your nonprofit organization’s annual budget WHILE launching your planned giving program…

I help nonprofit's shift their fundraising model/approach from transactional (events/appeals) to deep relational activities (investment-level conversations) . . .

Wondering if you’re ready to make that move? 

In my experience, most nonprofit leaders and board members agree with the phrase, “You have to spend money to make money.” 

But when you look at their budget, there is no evidence of this . . .

If your fundraising team can't answer this question, you may have a bigger problem than you realize.

“If I gave you $1M right now what would you do with it?”

The advice I'm about to give usually gets pushback.

You want to grow programs? Spend more money on overhead for a few years to build the engine to propel program growth.
