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.Â
Here's the truth: it's not you.Â
Fundraising is hard. And you've been doing it alone, without the right tools or support.  Â
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.
Â
That's exactly what I teach inside the League of Extraordinary Fundraisers.
The League of Extraordinary Fundraisers
is a monthly membership dedicated to helping you confidently raise more money without burning out.

April workshopÂ
Join now to attend "Secrets to Donor Retention"Â Â
Thursday, April 23 11 am CT/ 12 pm ET
6 out of 7 first-time donors will never give again.  Today's new donor retention rate?Â
A cringe-worthy 14%.
What is the only thing responsible for fundraising profit?Â
Hint: It’s not your gala. Or your new acquisition program. It’s good donor relations.
Shoring up losses from donor attrition is the quickest way to increase fundraising revenue.Â
Fact: your donors are not giving you their best gift upfront. They’re testing you. That first gift? A trial run.
Your stewardship? It’s your audition.
Stewardship is not a “nice to have.” Or something you do when you “have time.”
It is the ONLY thing that turns donors into revenue.
That’s what we’re doing in: Secrets to Donor Retention
A 90-minute, no-fluff, roll-up-your-sleeves workshop where you’ll learn how to create donor experiences that turn first-time donors into lifelong champions.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:
- The recipe to fill your monthly giving, major gift and legacy gift pipelines
- Concrete tactics you can implement in your next fundraising campaign
- Simple formulas to calculate first-time (and overall) donor retention
- Messages that stand out in a sea of bland, beige donor comms
- How to audit your current donor communications
- Secrets to keep donors loyal for life
PLUS YOU’LL GET:
- 1.5 CFRE credits
- A done-for-you stewardship plan
- 23 ways to shower your donors with loveÂ
- Templates, scripts, and examples you can use immediately
- A roadmap to turn one-time donors into loyal, love-you-forever supporters
Live on Thursday, April 23 at 11:00 am CT / 12:00 pm ET
Can’t make it live? No problem.
You’ll get immediate access to the full workshop recording and workbook as soon as the session wraps.
Simple pricing. Cancel anytime.
Both plans include full access to every workshop, resource, and the member community.
Meet your coach  Â
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 ran nonprofit organizations, raised more than $10 million, and trained fundraisers across the country through my work as a speaker, consultant, and coach. Â
I've helped thousands of fundraisers land big gifts. Delight their donors. Love their jobs again.Â
I built the League to give you the practical tools, confidence, and community I wish I’d had. Â
So you never have to figure this out alone. Â
Real results, real fundraisersÂ
