My goal is to help you get results. If you’ve gone through the content, completed the worksheets, implemented the ideas I teach in this course and don’t raise the cost of your tuition in new or increased donations, let’s chat. I’ll be glad to issue a full refund. That’s how confident I am that I can help you. There’s no way you can lose money on this.
Spots are limited to twenty participants.
In the program, you’ll be given weekly online lessons that you can view at your convenience and then participate in a 90-minute weekly group coaching session to review the work and workshop your specific challenge.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clear plan of attack to boost your individual fundraising, lifetime access to our alumni community, and lifetime access to course materials, ongoing free monthly drop-in sessions with me and masterclasses with experts in the field.
We meet online weekly for 90 minutes for 9 weeks. Participants also have access to a Slack channel to ask questions throughout the session, lifetime access to the content and all updates, lifetime access to our Slack channel and lifetime access to monthly drop-in sessions.
The schedule for the 2023 Fundraising Accelerator Program is in the dates from March 10 to May 5, 2023, and September 15 to November 10, 2023, from 12 pm – 1:30 pm ET every Friday.

DISCLAIMER: *Any fundraising figures stated above are not typical, I’m not implying you’ll duplicate them (or do anything for that matter). I have the benefit of practicing fundraising since 2005. The average person who follows or buys any “how to” information gets little to no results, typically because no action is taken. Your results will vary (they could be better than mine, worse, or zero) and depend on many factors …including but not limited to your background and work ethic.
