Create a Custom Program for YOUR Grantees
Here's the Reality for Many Foundation Grantees ...
Marketing
Marketing a cause in a recessionary and inflationary period, where it seems like the world is constantly on fire, more divisive than ever, and dealing with crisis after crisis ... is incredibly difficult.
Fundraising
Many want to accelerate their organization's impact but don’t know how to use their marketing program to bring in funding or mobilize supporters for high commitment actions.
Movement Building
Most organizations need to deepen their audience insights and data in order to build a movement that changes the communities they serve and deploys solutions that create more equity in the world.

EXAMPLE CURRICULUM:
Resources Legacy Fund's 2022 Cohort
With a group of team members from 7 organizations focused on environmental social justice, we first led an orientation with a survey and interview process to decide on the curriculum for a 6-month period.
The following trainings resulted, with templates and frameworks for each, and with an office hour session to coach, discuss ideas, and build connections among the organizations between each training:
- Training 1: Building an Inclusive Messaging Strategy & Audience Base
- Training 2: Creating an Effective Digital Communications Strategy
- Training 3: How to Audit Your Program with Data and Social Listening
- Training 4: Trust Building Through Video Storytelling
- Training 5: Building Your Email List with Automations for Fundraising & Relationship Building
- Training 6: Capacity Building and Fractional Hiring
Why Include Coaching for Your Grantees?
We're Bridging the Funding Gap that Exists Now and Historically For Under-Resourced Leaders, Causes and Communities

Empowered Leadership is necessary for the causes your grantees are championing

Confidence To Implement Learnings is the ultimate goal, ensuring the training resources are put to their greatest use

Minority-Led Movements have historically not had access to resource-rich networks, mentorship or knowledge sharing with peer networks — let's change that!

Heart Centered & Holistic coaching methods acknowledge our common humanity and give us space to show up as a whole person professionally

Research Shows that a majority who are coached see improvements in their communications skills both personally and professionally, directly impacting a team's ability to communicate their mission to potential donors and funders

"Thank you both for this cohort. Genuinely, it was SO beneficial. You two were great leaders, and did such an amazing job walking us through these training sessions. I really enjoyed how you both made sure everyone was so involved and valued everyone's comms journey. I learned so much!
With our small team and myself serving as the comms/ development person, this cohort was immeasurably valuable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and creating such a good space for EcoFlight to learn from you two and the other orgs.
The cohort experience will continue to shape and help EcoFlight :))"

Why Our Group Learning Methods Work ...
Discovery
We start with a robust discovery phase, which typically includes 1:1 interviews with each of the members or organizations in the learning cohort along with group survey.
Curriculum
We create a detailed curriculum with topics, materials, and expected outcomes from the training sessions that address the common themes coming out of the discovery phase.
Office Hours
We use these sessions to create space for members to ask questions, walk through their homework, and continue to teach and learn from each other.
Teach, Review, Do
We use a cyclical method while teaching our frameworks, first teaching cohort members in a number of interactive ways, then reviewing, then giving time to do it themselves.
Learning Library
We build a learning library of training recordings, workbooks, one-pagers, and other resources to be hosted in an online learning space and discussed in Slack or a private Facebook Group.
Collaboration
The group builds trust, shares knowledge, and discovers ways to collaboratively implement marketing campaigns — creating faster and more effective impact.
