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.

You might be...

...struggling to raise money or get in-person visits with donors   

...breaking into a cold sweat every time you think about asking for a gift

...feeling ghosted by donors and prospects who used to return your calls

...unsure which donors to focus on—or how much you can realistically raise 

...frustrated by a board full of “big ideas” but very little fundraising help (I call them idea fairies)

Here's the truth: it's not you. 

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

I've been in your shoes.   I've raised over 10 million and I know what it takes to make your case, close the big gifts with confidence, and build strong donor relationships.

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

• When (and how) to say no and how to prevent mission creep
• How to create sponsor benefit levels

Meet the founder behind the League   

Hey, I'm Rachel. I've been in your shoes.  The stress.  The sleepless nights.  The pressure to raise more with limited time and support.

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve started and ran 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.  Love their jobs. 

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

So you don't have to figure this out alone.
