NonProfit Grant and Leadership Support

YOUR MISSION.
ONE MOVEMENT.
MORE IMPACT.

Where nonprofit leaders, organizations, and their communities come together in the united belief that change is possible.

Real challenges we need to talk about.

Working in the nonprofit sector is no walk in the park and you and I both know some things need an upgrade.

Traditional leadership models don’t always work.

If you feel stuck on the hamster wheel and can’t catch a breath, let’s get you rooted back into alignment and a renewed sense of clarity.

⇢

Chasing grants is not a strategy.

It’s time to approach grants differently, so you can stop wasting time on the wrong grants and focus on the right funders.

⇢

Stop trying to crack the funder code.

Focusing on why you care about the work and the impact you believe in, will guide you farther than trying to guess what a funder wants.

⇢

Struggling to move the needle.

It’s time to get back to basics so you can regain your confidence, empowering you to drive real change.

- Samantha, Coaching Client

Without you, the work that really matters, doesn’t happen.

This isn’t just a job to you. You’re determined to make a difference, but somedays you wish that was easier. Together, we can make that a reality.
