If your biggest donor went away tomorrow, could you make up the difference?

If that question makes your stomach drop, you're in the right place. 

Here's the truth: it's not just you. 

Fundraising is hard.  And you've been doing it alone, without the right tools or support.   

I've walked a lot of miles in your shoes. I've raised over $10 million.  And I know what it takes to make your case, close big gifts with confidence, and build strong donor relationships.

That's exactly what I teach inside the League of Extraordinary Fundraisers.

Join me for live monthly workshops, done-for-you-tools and templates

...plus direct encouragement, advice, and coaching from me.  

Because fundraising is a lot more enjoyable when you get really good at it

...and have a like-minded community to share your challenges and wins.

Meet your coach   

Hey, I'm Rachel. I've been in your shoes. 

The stress. The sleepless nights before a big ask. The pressure to raise more with a tiny team.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve started and run nonprofit organizations, raised more than $10 million, and trained fundraisers across the country through my work as a speaker, consultant, and coach.  

I've helped thousands of fundraisers land big gifts.  Delight their donors.  And love their jobs again. 

I built the League to give you the practical tools, confidence, and community I wish I’d had.  

So you never have to figure this out alone.  

Real results, real fundraisers 

Does your organization have bigger goals?   

Consider becoming a VIP.

The VIP group includes everything in the monthly membership – plus an hour-long weekly coaching call.  

You get personal, in-depth review of your fundraising materials. Every. Single. Week.  

It’s like having an experienced Director of Development and a trained master copywriter … on speed-dial.

I have more than 20 years of background raising large donations – and I’ll help you every step along the way as you do the same. 

Here’s a snapshot of the kinds of topics we cover:

• A rewrite of an end-of-year fundraising appeal
• A rewrite of a monthly giving appeal
• A rewrite of an event landing page
• Building stewardship plans
• Crafting 90-day new donor journeys
• Building sponsorship benefit packages (and more!)

To ensure you get individual support, this group is strictly limited to 15 members.
