You’re not alone
Coaching sets you up for success. Are you feeling like you’re the only one responsible? Fundraising isn’t a solo sport. But sometimes it can feel that way.
Together we’ll build a culture of philanthropy in your board, grow major donors, develop your fundraising strategy, or build and optimize your donor database in weekly 1-on-1 meetings.
What feels hard in your fundraising?
We offer a free 30-minute brainstorm session to pick some goals and identify areas of growth. We can’t wait to hear about your amazing work!
Here’s where we can have a fundraising impact:
Grow Major Donors
Donor development is a process that takes time. Let’s discuss where you are, and how to get your board involved in growing donors and major gifts.
Donor Database
You may be just starting out, or halfway through. Let’s talk about how to set up reports that are to easy for building relationships.
Prioritize Prospects
There are a lot of donors out there. Let’s talk about how to identify the best major gift prospects for your work.
Board Engagement
Your board is a superpower in donor engagement! Let’s talk about how to build their comfort and participation in talking to donors.
Diversify Revenue
Let’s discuss sources for sustainable revenue, and how to find funders who can help achieve your budget goals.
At your first meeting, we’ll confirm your preferred schedule: 100% refund if you’re not happy with our first meeting.
Meet Your Mentors
Melanie Hamburger

Use Melanie as your personal mentor, thought partner, and sounding board to build revenue.
Sian Romoli

Sian’s superpowers in data and research make her an ideal nonprofit database coach. She will help you create, organize, and optimize gift entry and reports — or migrate to an entirely new database.

Coaching not in your budget? Let’s talk and we’ll come up with a plan that works for you.
Why work with a fundraising coach?
The answer is simple: focus. Work with Melanie or Sian to focus your scarce time and resources on what works best in building revenue for your nonprofit.
In our first meeting, we’ll evaluate your current fundraising goals and challenges. Then we’ll work together to develop custom strategies for long-term growth. We’re here for you.
