The order of things laid out in this program has been instrumental in us seeing the need we are filling in our community. It enabled me to walk into meetings and lay out the plan for the next year with confidence. After a very tumultuous year, we are entering the new year with security.
Ginnette Simko
Executive Director, Farming with Friends
When funding feels uncertain, your mind never really rests.
When you walk into conversations with funders, you're carrying the weight of whether your organization will still be standing six months from now.
What if this grant doesn't come through?
What can we actually afford?
What happens if we have to cut back?
Those questions run in the background all the time. And that pressure follows you into every conversation, with your board, your community, your volunteers, and your funders.
Funders can sense your discomfort.
They're not just listening to what you say — they're listening for what you know. When your own thinking still feels unresolved, it's hard for others to fully trust and get behind the plan, the strategy, or the long-term direction of your work.
You might feel that the deck is stacked against you.
Don't worry.
We've got you.
Inside this program, you get the space to slow down, think clearly, and work through your unanswered questions with expert guidance. You don't have to carry the worry alone anymore. The Club brings clarity to your strategy, so your next moves feel intentional instead of reactive.
Built from years of hands-on work with Executive Directors like you, this program consistently creates stronger, more sustainable funding partnerships.

Barb Greene
Nonprofit Consultant
I'm a fundraiser, strategist, and consultant with 13 years of experience helping nonprofit Executive Directors grow their organizations.
I've worked with dozens of leaders to build fundraising strategies, strengthen donor relationships, and navigate the complexities of nonprofit leadership. I know what it takes to move your mission forward, with clarity, confidence, and a solid plan.
This coaching group is filled with proven templates, expert guidance, and practical tools, built from everything I've learned working in the trenches of the nonprofit sector.
Before you join…
Is this coaching / consulting program for me? I am a small nonprofit leader, I'm always overwhelmed and wearing every hat possible.
Yes. This program was designed for Executive Directors of small nonprofits who are juggling programs, fundraising, board relationships, budgeting, everything.
You won't just get tools and templates.
This support is designed to lighten your load, not add to it.
What do I actually get inside the ElevatED group calls?
Inside the group calls, you get far more than advice, you get a structured, guided learning experience designed specifically for small nonprofit Executive Directors.
Here's what happens in the calls:
In short: You're not left to "figure it out later." You get ongoing, expert-guided support that replaces the guesswork and stops you from running in circles.
My organization is small. Will this still work for us?
Absolutely. If your nonprofit's budget is under $500,000, this is exactly the support you need. Everything you learn is sized for small teams, limited capacity, and real-life constraints.
Is this just another workshop or webinar?
No — not even close.
We know nonprofit Executive Directors are often left piecing together advice from workshops, webinars, and one-off trainings… and still not getting the continuous support they truly need.
ElevatED Leadership Club is the opposite of that. You receive ongoing guidance, expert feedback, and real-time support, so you're not collecting disconnected tips, you're actually building a stronger organization with someone by your side.
This program is built to give you consistency, clarity, and partnership, not just another training you have to figure out on your own.
Why do I need strategic planning — and why can't I just hire a consultant to do it for me?
Through this program, you create a simpler, grounded version of a strategic plan, built by you, not for you. You go through the entire planning process, but we break it into manageable steps so it never feels overwhelming.
The process itself becomes a way to:
- Learn about your organization more deeply
- Understand what's realistic with your current capacity
- See clearly where and how your nonprofit can grow
- Build a plan rooted in reality rather than assumptions
We teach you exactly how to build a strategic plan that directly informs your fundraising plan, so your goals, your budget, and your fund development strategy all align.
As you work through this, you gain:
- Clarity about your nonprofit's direction
- Confidence in your decisions and priorities
- Language to communicate needs to funders and donors
- Authority when leading your board and team
- Strategic judgment as a nonprofit leader
Because as an Executive Director, you need a plan you understand inside and out, one that strengthens how you show up with funders, donors, board members, and your team. This program helps you build that plan.
What if my board isn't engaged?
We help you strengthen board communication, prepare materials, set expectations, and structure meetings that finally create progress, without you having to babysit anyone.
We don't have a donor database… will this still help?
Yes. We'll help you set up simple systems, even if it starts in a spreadsheet, and show you how to improve donor retention and start major donor cultivation.
What if our programs are not fully clear yet?
The program helps you clarify your nonprofit's services, outcomes, program priorities, and capacity so fundraising and budgeting decisions become much easier.
Is there support with budgets?
Yes. You'll get help building a grounded, fundable budget using nonprofit budgeting best practices.
I find myself having a lot of questions about small details — how to show in-kind support, how to write out certain answers on grant applications. Would I be able to ask questions about grants and get guidance as I am applying?
Yes. You can absolutely bring your specific grant questions to our sessions. Whether it's how to show in-kind support, word a tricky section, or make sense of funder expectations, no question is off-limits.
What types of weekly plans will be audited?
Weekly plan audits mean I'll review your live, in-progress planning documents and give you strategic feedback as you go, so you're never doing this work in isolation.
Running a nonprofit shouldn't feel like a constant uphill battle.
With the right strategy, systems, and support, you can lead with confidence, build a resilient organization, and create lasting impact.
Don't wait till you burn out.
