Do you want:

…a highly engaged and effective board?

…a more robust and predictable fundraising program?

…better communication between your organization and the community around you?

Then read on, because you’re about to discover how the Mission Achievable system will deliver that to you.

Are you raising the funds you know you should be raising?

If not, it’s probably because there isn’t GREAT communication between the triangle of leadership (the Board, the Executive Director, and the Development Director). Inherent in most nonprofit organizations is something called the “Tension Triangle”. Even though the Board, the ED and the DD are all working toward fulfilling the mission of your organization, many times it’s the misaligned expectations that hinder your success.

To help you overcome this, we’ve put together a unique training series that helps get rid of the “Tension Triangle” so you can excel at reaching your fundraising potential.

Good fundraising starts with good communication and
GREAT fundraising starts with GREAT communication.

GREAT communication starts with a shared language and properly aligned expectations. Over the next 6 months, we will train your Board Members, your Executive Director, and your Development Director to better communicate with each other AND with the general public …making it much easier for you to raise significantly more dollars.

Besides raising more money, some of the side benefits you’ll receive from this program is that your job will actually become less stressful and more enjoyable. Your board will be happier and more responsive too. Imagine what that will do for you.

Here’s what you’ll get with the Mission Achievable system:

You’ll get three packets.

One for the Board.
One for the Executive Director.
And one for the Development Director.

Each packet comes fully loaded with individualized training and tools. The training is broken up into modules, so that it’s easy for you to learn and implement the different strategies and best practices.

The modules are laid out to help you build a solid foundation and then build up from there. Here are the modules (NOTE: there’s a whole lot of information here):
