Picture this:
You’re sitting at a big wooden table inside a cozy farmhouse just outside Seattle. Fire crackling. Coffee brewing. Not a PowerPoint in sight.

Just you, a small circle of smart, driven fundraisers, and three of the best minds in nonprofit storytelling — rolling up your sleeves, crafting your major donor strategy, and practicing the exact stories and asks you’ll use to unlock more revenue right now.

This isn’t a lecture.

It’s not a training you’ll forget by Monday.

It’s a hands-on, done-with-you experience designed to help you walk away with the fastest, clearest, most reliable way to raise more money from major donors — in 2025 and beyond.

Why This Matters Now

Let’s be honest:
There’s a lot of uncertainty out there right now.

Markets are shaky. New tariffs just shook investor confidence. The S&P 500 dropped 10% in two days. Everyone’s watching, waiting, wondering what’s next.

And for many nonprofits, giving is already down this year.

But here’s what we know:

Major donors are still giving.
They’re just being more selective.

When everything else feels unstable, they want their giving to feel solid. Grounded. Purposeful. Certain.

They’re looking for organizations that move them.
They’re looking for causes that feel meaningful and urgent.
They’re looking for leaders who can make the case with clarity, heart, and confidence.

If you can do that, you’ll rise to the top of their list.
If not? Someone else will.

That’s Where the Farmhouse Comes In

At this intimate 3-day intensive, you’ll learn how to tell stories that move donors to action — stories that unlock larger gifts, faster decisions, and long-term generosity.

And you won’t just learn it.
You’ll do it.

You’ll spend three transformational days:

• Crafting real stories for real donors
• Practicing asks with real feedback
• Mapping out your top major donors — and planning exactly what to say to each one
• Getting personal coaching from three of the best in the business
• Walking away with a plan you’re excited to use — because you already know it works

This Isn’t Just Strategy — It’s Soul-Filling

Yes, you’ll get more done in three days than you normally would in three weeks.
Yes, you’ll leave with a crystal-clear plan that moves major donors to give.

But you’ll also feel something unexpected:

Rejuvenated. Energized. Like yourself again.

Because when you come to the farmhouse, you’re not just treated like a student. You’re cared for like a friend.

The food is warm, fresh, and made with love.
The coffee flows. The laughter comes easy.
The conversations go deep — about your work, your donors, your dreams.

It’s comfortable. It’s real. It’s personal.
And somehow, the big, hard fundraising work starts to feel less like a burden—and more like play.

You’ll leave not just further ahead — but lighter. Clearer. More alive in the work you do.

What Would an Extra $50K+ Mean for Your Mission?

Many fundraisers leave the farmhouse with stories and strategy that bring in $50K, $75K, even six-figure gifts—sometimes from donors who’d already given recently.

We can’t guarantee a check before you leave.

But we can guarantee this:

✅ You’ll leave knowing exactly what to say to inspire a bigger gift
✅ You’ll have stories so strong, donors won’t forget them
✅ You’ll be ready to walk into your next meeting and lead it with confidence

You’ll Walk Away With:

✔ A Personalized Major Donor Storytelling Plan
We’ll help you build a simple, powerful engagement plan tailored to your top donors—so you know how to connect in a way that resonates and raises more.

✔ A Repeatable Storytelling Framework
You don’t have to be a “natural storyteller.” We’ll show you a step-by-step structure you can use to consistently move donors to act.

✔ Insights into Donor Psychology
You’ll learn how to match your message with the inner story donors tell themselves—so your cause becomes their cause.

✔ Compelling Asks That Actually Work
We’ll show you how to make the ask in a way that feels natural, clear, and effective—without being pushy or vague.

✔ Real Coaching, Real Feedback, Real Confidence
This is a done-with-you experience. You’ll practice in the room with us—refining your stories and getting live feedback so you walk out ready, not rattled.

✔ A 5-Donor Activation Plan
You’ll identify 5 donors you can reach out to within 30 days—and we’ll help you craft and rehearse exactly what to say to each one.
