The Fully Backed Method
A senior-level partnership for nonprofit CEOs
and their leadership teams
focused on earning transformation-level support.​
​
How the Work Happens
1
We'll craft the full picture of your organization.
We'll replace scattered messaging and disconnected outcomes with a shared understanding of what the organization is actually building.
This becomes the foundation used across the organization, not just by one team or in one campaign.
2
We'll articulate an investment-ready future.
We'll surface answers to questions would-be funders, and stakeholders are already asking:
Why does this organization matter now?
What is it working toward?
Why does deeper, organization-level support make sense?
Why should I invest?
3
We'll build tailored cases for transformation-level support.
We prepare leadership, development, and marketing teams to carry the narrative into real fundraising and partnership conversations. Teams move from just securing gifts to inviting shared ownership in the organization’s direction.
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 is 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.
