What I Offer
A senior-level partnership for nonprofit CEOs and leadership teams pursuing transformation-level support.
The Path to a Fully Backed Organization
1
Phase 1:
Positioning
We work in partnership to develop a more complete, organization-level articulation of where the organization is going and what it is asking others to invest in, so leaders are operating from the same understanding.
2
Phase 2: Organizational Narrative
From there, we unlock the organization’s core story and point of view in a way that resonates across the organization and helps more people see how they fit into what the organization is building.
3
We then shape that story into a concrete investment narrative that anchors high-stakes conversations with donors, corporate partners, and foundations.
What Changes When
Your Organization is fully Backed
Funders understand both the scope of the work and where it is headed, and feel confident making larger, longer-term investments.
Boards become more confident ambassadors for the organization and more capable of representing it in donor and partner conversations.
Leadership teams approach fundraising differently, moving beyond program-by-program asks toward organization-level investment.
Strategic corporate partnerships become possible because partners can see alignment, shared value, and long-term direction.
Individuals and foundations make transformation-level investments grounded in conviction, including significant general operating support.
Transformation-level support becomes possible because people can see what they are being asked to believe in and back.
Who This Work is For
I work with nonprofit CEOs, chief development officers, and senior marketing leaders who sense that their organization is being supported at a level that reflects pieces of the work, not the whole.
​
My clients typically:
-
operate at $8M+ in annual revenue
-
have capable leadership teams and engaged boards
-
are doing complex, multi-faceted work that can be challenging to explain at a higher level
-
are seeking support that reflects where the organization is headed, not just where it has been
This work is not about short-term fundraising tactics or outsourced execution. It’s for leadership teams who want the organization to be understood, believed in, and backed at the level the work requires.
What You'll Walk Away With
​
By the end of this work, the organization is no longer relying on program-by-program explanations to earn support.
​
You have a higher-level narrative used consistently across leadership, development, marketing, and the board.
​
Funders, partners, and board members understand what the organization is building and why unrestricted, transformation-level support makes sense.
​
Most importantly, the organization is positioned to be fully backed, not just funded.
