What if raising more donations for your nonprofit was simple and fast?
Welcome to a monthly training series helping you raise more money in less time
Fundraising has never been more important or demanded so much courage.
Is this you? You're struggling to get in-person visits with donors. Or get your foot in the door.
You break into a cold sweat thinking about asking donors for money. Your top prospects won't return your emails or phone calls. You aren't sure which donors to focus on or how much you can realistically raise.
Your board is full of "idea fairies" and your patience for them ran out last year.
Like it or not if you're going to succeed you must:
âś“ bravely make your case
âś“ strengthen donor relationships
âś“ write the best appeals you’ve ever written
âś“ zero in on your BEST prospects
âś“ solicit the big gifts with confidence
âś“ cut through your donor’s crowded inbox to win their hearts, minds & wallets
How will you do it?

Who am I and why should you listen to me?
My name is Rachel Muir and I am just as passionate about making the world a better place as you are.
I’ve started and run my own nonprofit, raised over 10 million and was featured on Oprah, CNN and the Today show.
It took a lot of inspiration and a truck-load of guts to get to where I am today.
I have helped thousands of fundraisers land big gifts, delight their donors, and love their jobs…all because I use proven systems and methods. Because nobody wants theory!
Real love notes & testimonials from students...

Rachel is very good at keeping my attention, explaining things and remaining patient. She’s high energy, on the cutting edge of technologies that can be used for giving, and gives great take-away (downloadable) content!
