Coaching and Mentoring

In starting organization, we often suffer from various growing pains:

• finding donors
• finding volunteers
• communicating and engaging with donors and volunteers
• completing the cycle of actually getting donations
• finding staff
• getting new programs off the ground—and then running them
• finding myself in the middle of a new and emerging technology wave

Having worked with so many of you, we realized that you are not alone. Many organizations had also struggled with the same challenges. So we decided to begin compiling my experiences: the tools and techniques that we found had worked. We then used them to develop a series of training programs to address our common needs and challenges.

We help you to dream big and to be able to back up your dreams with meaningful, action-oriented programs and projects.

The training programs will help you:

• build skill sets and visibility for a new job or promotion
• better identify potential donors
• collect compelling stories from your programs
• boost donor marketing and communications (and donations!)
• increase online donations (using emerging web technologies!)
• develop projects that solve challenges and that can be funded
• learn time-saving techniques for getting everything done
• learn to better manage projects

Our training programs fall into three main areas:

• nonprofit marketing and communications
• developing resources online: donations, volunteers, subscribers and AdWords grants
• project/program design, funding, management and reporting

We are lucky to have been able to work with those of you who are :

• Executive Directors and Communications, Development and Program Directors
• Administrative Coordinators
• Program Coordinators
• Volunteer Coordinators
• Grant Writers
• Board Members
• Donors
• People hoping to transition into the nonprofit world
