Learn from someone who's been in your seat
Hi I'm Tim and I've been exactly where you are and I understand the complexities of your role.
My courses are different because I have worked alongside some of the largest organizations and some of the smallest organizations and I understand your needs.
I'll share my best moments, my worst mistakes, my strategies for growing your donor base and hands-on ways to build a development culture across your organization’s staff.
No matter what kind or size your organization, my course will help you see your work in a fresh, new way and equip you with the right tools for growing your program.
If you think you are too busy to do this now, that won't change
"I don't have the luxury of time to do this course."
"I'm too busy wearing "17 hats" running the organization to stop and plan."
You don’t need a lot of time.
This first course will accelerate your growth and you can take action NOW.
We find that so many fundraisers and managers feel they’re too overwhelmed to spare the time to take a course or get additional training.
You will get back the time you put into this many times over with the tips, tools and training insights for both you and your staff.
This is a one-stop shop to get the help you need to be successful.
We shortcut the time you’d otherwise spend having to cobble together resources and other courses.
You may also be wondering...
There’s never enough time or money in a small nonprofit development office.
We’ve all been there.
Commit to stopping the endless cycle of rushing through projects and “good enough” strategies.
It won’t change until you invest time in the right resources to boost your program.
Tim’s course will give you tangible tools you can implement in your office right away.
It’s a practical, affordable investment in your future and your organization’s mission.
Sure, you can …and I hope you do!
But it won’t give you the content of the course.
The course packages years of my experience in working with donors, actual stories of what works and what doesn’t, along with lots of data, systems and tools that you’ll be able to harness for your own development shop.
Short answer - No.
