Conference Special
You've spent three days discovering new ways to improve your fundraising.
What if you had a team helping you implement all of the new ideas, and help you raise more money faster?
That's what Nonprofit Storytelling Pro is for.
With Pro, you'll have Chris Davenport and Josh Alcorn helping you figure out what fundraising messages to make, create them faster, and make them stronger before they reach your donors.
Get the help you need, when you need it.
Maybe you're working on an appeal and can't quite get the opening right.
Instead of spending another afternoon rewriting it, bring it to Pro. We'll help you find what's missing and figure out how to make it stronger.
Maybe you're wondering what you should do for your next fundraising campaign. We'll help you explore opportunities you might not have considered, develop an offer donors can get excited about, and work through the strategy.
Or maybe you've got a major donor meeting coming up and you're not sure what to ask for.
We can help you think through the opportunity and prepare for the conversation.
You get experts helping you make decisions and move forward, without spending so much time figuring everything out yourself.
Imagine what that could do for your fundraising.
You could spend less time staring at a blank page, wondering where to start.
You could develop new fundraising campaigns without having to figure out every step on your own.
You could get a second set of experienced eyes on your appeals, emails, and donor communications before they go out.
And you could discover fundraising opportunities you hadn't even considered.
"Our fundraising is easier, clearer, and more focused."
"Before, every appeal felt like we were starting from scratch. Now our fundraising is easier, clearer, and more focused. We don't have to reinvent the wheel every time we write an appeal."

Senior Director of Marketing & Program Development

Nonprofit Storytelling Pro will help you see opportunities you might otherwise miss. Help you get the work done without so much frustration and second-guessing. And help you create fundraising that gives donors a compelling reason to give.
"Pro has trained me to see opportunity where I didn't see it before."
Tess DeGeest
Executive Director
Anoka-Hennepin Educational Foundation
And when you put that help to work, the results can be pretty exciting.
"The appeal had a monumental response."
"I followed the process, trusted the feedback, and it worked. The appeal had a monumental response. We got more checks, more forms back, gifts from people who hadn't given in years, and increased gifts from current donors."
Janet Kleyn
President & CEO
Agape Villages Foster Family Agency
So what do you actually get with Pro?
You'll have access to fundraising strategy, new ideas, reviews of your actual work, and ongoing help from Chris, Josh, and the Pro team.
You can bring us whatever you're working on, or simply learn from the fundraising challenges other members bring to the group.
Here's how it works.
You have access to expert fundraising help five days a week.
Through the Pro app, you can ask questions, share your work, and get help from Chris, Josh, and our team Monday through Friday.
- Working on an appeal? Send it to us for feedback.
- Trying to figure out your next campaign? Let's work through the strategy.
- Need a fresh fundraising idea or want help developing an offer? We can help with that, too.
We also get together live twice a week. Every Tuesday and Friday, we hold Pro sessions on Zoom where we work through real fundraising challenges with members.
You can bring something you're working on, ask for advice, or simply watch as we help other fundraisers.
You'll see how we think through problems, develop ideas, and improve actual fundraising messages. And you'll learn from the questions and experiences of other Pro members.
Can't make a call? Watch the recording when it's convenient.
We also have Write It Wednesday, an optional hour to set aside distractions and get some writing done.
You'll also have more than 1,000 fundraising training videos at your fingertips including twelve years of Nonprofit Storytelling Conference presentations.
When you need a fresh idea, want to try a different fundraising strategy, or need help figuring out how to do something, you'll have years of expert advice and real-world examples to draw from, without having to figure it all out yourself.
Use Pro as much or as little as you need.
When you're stuck, we're here to help you move forward. When you're looking for new ideas, there's plenty to learn from. And when you've got the work well in hand, there's nothing extra you need to do.
The idea is to make your fundraising easier and more effective, without adding another big commitment to your calendar.
We can also help you figure out what to do next.
Sometimes the problem isn't an appeal that needs improving.
It's not knowing what fundraising you should be doing in the first place.
Should you create a gift catalog? Try a different approach to major donors? Start a new campaign? Change the way you communicate with your existing donors?
We'll help you look at your opportunities, decide what makes sense, and develop a plan for putting those ideas to work.
We'll also help you build your Relaxed Shoulders Fundraising Plan, so you have a clearer picture of what you'll be doing over the coming months.
Instead of constantly reacting to the next deadline, you'll have a plan you can follow and people to help you carry it out.
"We more than tripled, if not quadrupled, what the same campaign did last year."
"We followed Chris and Josh's advice and met our goal … In fact, we more than tripled, if not quadrupled, what the same campaign did last year."

Executive Director

And we've got something special for you at the conference.
Some fundraising work is simply better done in person.
That's why we created the Farmhouse Workshops.
Imagine getting away from your office for two days and having time to work on the fundraising you've been wanting to improve.
You're sitting around a big table with Chris, Josh, and a small group of fundraisers.
Maybe you're building your fundraising plan. Developing an offer for a major donor. Working through a campaign. Or trying to figure out how to put something you learned at the conference into practice.
You bring the work. We roll up our sleeves and work on it together.
There's time to think, try ideas, ask questions, and get feedback.
You'll also learn from the other fundraisers around the table. Someone might be working on an idea you can use. Someone else might ask a question that changes the way you think about your own fundraising.
And we make sure you're well taken care of.
Good food, coffee, and a comfortable place where you can focus on getting important work done.
You'll go home with work you've accomplished, decisions you've made, and a clearer idea of what to do next.
And if you're a Pro member, you'll have us available to help you keep making progress.
A two-day Farmhouse Workshop normally costs $3,500. But during the Nonprofit Storytelling Conference, we're including the Farmhouse in two special Pro packages.
How much more could you raise with the right help?
Think about the appeals, campaigns, and donor conversations ahead of you.
Now imagine having experienced fundraisers helping you find new opportunities, make better decisions, and get the work done faster.
Choose the level of support that makes sense for your fundraising.
