Most fundraising trainings are built for organizations with big teams, big budgets, and plenty of time.

Small teams need something different. Not just content — but strategy, support, and a community of people who understand exactly what you're carrying.

That's what this program is built for.

Providing you With skills, knowledge and tools for sustainability.

Why this works when other trainings don't

Strategy, not just tactics.

You'll learn how to think like a fundraiser and build a plan that works for your specific mission — not just collect tips you don't know how to use.

Guidance, not a content dump.

We walk with you step by step. You'll get real feedback, real answers, and space to grow at a pace that works for real nonprofit life.

Flexible and practical.

Can’t make every live call? Everything is available on-demand so you can show up on your schedule without falling behind.

Built-in community.

You'll connect with nonprofit leaders facing the same challenges — so you're building alongside people who actually understand the work.

Implementation, not theory.

You'll apply what you learn as you go. By the time you finish, you won't just know the system — you'll have built it.

Connected to your whole mission.

Fundraising doesn't live in a vacuum. This program ties your fundraising strategy directly to your team, your donors, and your long-term sustainability.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL BUILD

Where You Start — Fundraising Growth Strategy Audit

Before we build anything, we assess where you are. If you've completed a Strategy Session, your audit is already done. If not, we start here — so your roadmap is personalized to your organization from day one.

Phase 1 — Generosity Foundations

Before you can build a fundraising system, you need the right foundation. In this phase you'll clarify the mindset and beliefs behind sustainable giving, craft a compelling message your whole team can use, and put simple systems in place to keep everything organized.

What's covered: The Generous Why · Case for Support Blueprint · Simple Systems Setup

Phase 2 — Fundraising Momentum

With your foundation in place, you'll build the strategies and relationships that drive consistent revenue. You'll identify your best-fit fundraising approaches, map every supporter touchpoint, and create a stewardship system that keeps donors coming back.

What's covered: Sustainable Revenue Framework · Supporter Pathway Blueprint · Stewardship & Engagement System

Phase 3 — Sustainable Growth

This is where the system becomes self-sustaining. You'll build a consistent fundraising calendar, activate your board and team as true partners, and create a long-term plan that keeps revenue steady through change, growth, and whatever comes next.

What's covered: The Consistency Calendar · Team & Board Activation Plan · Sustainability & Growth Plan

How You'll Be Supported

This isn't a self-paced course. You'll have two ways to get direct support throughout the program:

  • Bi-weekly group coaching calls with Sarah — bring your questions, get real-time feedback, and learn alongside your cohort

  • Up to three 1:1 sessions with Sarah — for the moments when you need personalized guidance on your specific situation

Peer Support and Shared Wisdom

You’ll be part of a peer group that understands your challenges and celebrates your wins. You’ll learn from others’ questions, ideas, and lived experience—not just from the curriculum.

This program is built for you if:

✅ You wear multiple hats and fundraising is just one of your responsibilities
✅ You’re part of a small (or mighty-but-understaffed) fundraising team
✅ You’ve inherited development duties with little training or systems
✅ You want fundraising to feel strategic—not scattered or last-minute
✅ You’re ready to build something sustainable instead of relying on quick fixes
✅ You care about relationships, mission alignment, and doing things the right way

Whether you're a one-person development team, a founder learning on the fly, or a program lead who suddenly owns fundraising, this is your roadmap.

Not sure if this is for you?

Book Your Strategy Call

Most Executive Directors know something in their fundraising isn't working. They just don't know exactly where the breakdown is — or what to fix first.

That's what this session is for.

In 75 minutes we'll look honestly at where your organization stands across all three stages of the Fundraising for Small Teams system — Foundations, Momentum, and Growth. You'll leave with a clear picture of what's broken and a personalized action plan to start fixing it.

WHAT WE COVER

— A complete audit of your current fundraising: what's working, what's broken, and what's quietly costing your organization reliable revenue

— Your personalized action plan: the exact first steps based on your organization's situation

— A clear decision on fit: whether working together beyond this session makes sense for both of us

You'll walk away with a plan whether we work together or not.

What client say about us

Joining the Fundraising for Small Teams cohort has been an excellent experience and has significantly strengthened my understanding of fundraising practices. I have gained valuable knowledge on topics ranging from identifying and cultivating new donors to retaining long-term relationships with ongoing sponsors.

The cohort environment is very supportive; all of my questions are welcomed and answered with practical guidance and actionable information. Participating has also allowed me to build partnerships and connections with other small teams and nonprofit organizations, and to learn from the strategies they are using in their own fundraising efforts.

Our discussions include both successes and challenges, and we explore how to navigate those as a team in a realistic and sustainable way. Overall, this cohort has been instrumental in helping us grow our fundraising efforts in a more organized, strategic, and thoughtful manner.
