"I never believed fundraising could be fun, but Susan brings it every time!"
Guiding Non-Profit Leaders to become Confident Fundraisers
Experienced Fundraising Coach Susan Axelrod offers fun, highly personalized and specialized coaching for nonprofit leaders who are ready to make deeper connections with donors and raise more money for worthy causes.
From Susan: “At Confident Fundraising™ I offer Individualized Coaching for nonprofit leaders who want to learn high-level personal solicitation strategy that produces every time. I coach-to-confidence nonprofit CEOs, professional fundraisers, and board members to support the sustainability of worthy missions. I teach my Confident Fundraising Curriculum in a way that transforms your mindset. “Meeting you and working with you has been a gift.” — this from a nonprofit client who gained new-found confidence offering opportunities to people to support her mission.
““In one coaching session with you, I have a better understanding of my role in fundraising than I have since I became a Dean. I’ve been nervous about what I was ‘supposed to’ be doing and not knowing how to start. I feel more confident already just understanding that it all starts with sharing our story first—I love talking about what we do here with our students. Now, I see that gifts come from building authentic relationships with people who care about what we do and want to help us make a difference...instead of just trying to get money from them. My role in fundraising has fallen into place, thank you!””
Through Confident Fundraising, my intention is to offer fundraising relief to the executive and lay leaders of nonprofits throughout the United States who are lovingly and expertly caring for the fabric of our society. I am here to support you in a safe environment with your most private concerns about your own ability to raise money for your organization. You must succeed, for the strong future of the nonprofit sector, and our world. Blessings to each and every one of you for the work you do every day.
PERSONAL iNTENSIVE
For Nonprofit CEOs--Personal Fundraising Coaching to set you up for success!
“I had no idea how having a fundraising coach would work when I hired you. I just knew I needed help. It has been the best thing I’ve ever done in my career. I’ve had help and support from you in ways I didn’t even realize I need. You make yourself available and ask me thought-provoking questions and even though you’re ‘just on a screen,’ you go so far beyond and so deep! I love working with you!” (Current Client, 2021)
