Founders Cohort
Each Mastermind is a combination of training and community engagement.
TRAINING – There’s more to creating a nonprofit than filing paperwork. During this six-month program you will learn the essential elements such as Governance, Leadership, Assessment, and Fundraising, and how they are needed to build a strong foundation.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT – From experience we have found this is when most have questions. Discussions will be central to the groups engagement as we focus on participants needs. We can help participants explore program development, and provide insight and immediate feedback during brainstorming sessions. After completion we encourage transitioning into the Fundraiser or Leadership cohorts.

Building a Peer-to-Peer Community
The phrase “It’s lonely at the top.” is often true but it doesn’t have to be. Nonprofit leaders share a unique role that most executives just don’t get.
This group will become your network of likeminded people who understand the same challenges. We will explore leadership versus managing, provide opportunities for feedback or offer solutions from the combined experience of the groups members. Leadership does not come as a cookie cutter template, especially not in the nonprofit world. However, there are certain leadership characteristics that can be learned and shared. And how do they translate in a nonprofit environment where success is measured with a different yardstick.
A nonprofit mastermind is crafted to meet the needs of the nonprofit sector.
- Leader need colleagues that understand the landscape.
- Leaders need a place to learn
- Leader need a place to share

Content Specific Masterminds will
Nonprofits are full of innovative, passionate leaders. They understand the challenges of nonprofits, but more importantly, they appreciate the meaningful work. Being a part of a community of people driven to impact change in their communities will inspire them to find new ways to fulfill their mission. Community is everything personally and for the organization.
Solving problems alone can be daunting. The benefits of collaboration are deep. In one study, 60% of employees believed collaboration positively impacted innovation, and that same study showed collaboration increased productivity, saved time, and increased the quality of work.
If that’s true for rank-and-file employees in a for-profit business, imagine the power of collaboration among leaders in the nonprofit world, who are already committed to helping others as their primary professional focus. Lean on each other for support when needed and cheer each other on as you reach new milestones. Collaboration is essential in leadership training for nonprofits.
Mastermind content model provides access to carefully selected content experts with expertise in key areas of nonprofit growth and management. These experts provide tailored advice specific to the issues that challenge nonprofit leaders. Learn from directors who have years of experience, fundraisers who have broken records, and communications directors who have developed an engaged a passionate group of supporters.
Stop the endless Google searches trying to find the answers to some of your problems. Like, what’s the best way to reach your target group, what social media channel is best for your efforts, and which digital fundraising platform has the best bang for your buck? In a nonprofit mastermind group, you’ll be matched with likeminded peers to ask questions like these and get the advice of expert coaches. Ask people who’ve been there, who can give you nuanced advice, and stop wasting time with Google.
A nonprofit mastermind group isn’t just a weekend workshop or virtual training where you are one among hundreds. We prescreen participants so that each cohort is filled with like-minded people and come from similar experiences. Our mastermind content is driven by the participant needs and allows for individual feedback in real-time experiences.
Committing to a mastermind means that you’ll establish long-term relationships with other dedicated leaders like yourself. You’ll have the time and opportunity to implement what you’ve learned and fine-tune it with real-time feedback. If something you try isn’t the best fit for your organization, you’re not back to square one, rather bring it back to the group for evaluation. Additionally, the power and value of having a group behind you is priceless. This is a community that is here for you for the long haul.
