Membership is month-to-month, giving you the flexibility to start when you're ready. However, marketing strategies often take time to implement and yield measurable results, so we recommend committing to the program for at least six months to see meaningful progress. For those looking to save, we also offer a discounted annual subscription option.

We understand that nonprofit leaders have busy schedules! All live sessions are recorded and made available to members shortly after the event. You’ll have access to the full library of recordings, so you can catch up at your convenience or revisit sessions whenever you need. If you can’t attend a live session, you can also pre-submit questions to be answered during the session. This way, your questions are addressed, and you can see the responses in the recording at a time that works for you.

The Core Membership is designed to provide group-based support, offering resources, live sessions, and community discussions where you can ask questions and receive valuable insights tailored to nonprofits. For those seeking more in-depth support, the Premium Access Plan includes monthly one-on-one coaching calls, weekly item reviews, and unlimited Voxer access for direct, personalized feedback and guidance.

Our monthly workshops are tailored to help nonprofits improve their marketing efforts and achieve their goals. Topics include: Social Media Strategy and Best Practices Writing Effective Emails That Convert Using Digital Marketing for Fundraising Campaigns Branding 101: Establishing a Consistent and Compelling Presence Storytelling to Build a Personal Brand for Your Nonprofit And more, based on member feedback and emerging trends.

Opportunities to build meaningful relationships with peers facing similar challenges or working toward shared goals.
