Join the Free 3-Hour Workshop

In the second half of 2024, we helped participants raise over $700,000 via individual donations and crowdfunding — to refurbish a disaster relief warehouse in California, empower Black teenagers in Baltimore, keep the lights on for vulnerable families, change outcomes of poverty in the Southside of Chicago, empower Peruvian craftswomen and children in barrios, and fund grassroots changemakers globally.

In Spring 2025, our first cohort just launched their campaigns, have raised $10,875 so far and we are so excited to see their progress happening now despite all the global uncertainty. Philanthropists and donors are stepping up to fund critical community work.

More of What Others Are Saying

"So much more confident"

“After just one, brief, introductory meeting with Adriana, I feel so much more confident in our organization’s fundraising abilities. Her calm, kind and confident demeanor was a balm to the worried mindset that led us to seek fundraising training. She guided us through a simple but powerful decision matrix and even included a mini action plan with next steps! We are grateful to be welcomed into this community of support and are excited to start the training!”

— Hilary White, Treasurer, Art Explorers

"This is really specific & helpful"

“This is so helpful. With the incubator I don’t have a lot of people I can talk to who are pursuing similar things. I just read about stuff. There are a few people out there but this is really helpful and encouraging and specific. I’m finding great value in this. If you ever need a testimonial let me know. I’ll implement and show what happened in my campaigns. I am excited to talk about donor personas. I’ll refocus what I have written down so far.”

— Jon Tulio of Nothing to Lose Foundation

"I am ready"

"This fundraising mentoring session and incubator are great. It’s helpful because for a lot of this work developing resources I do my own thinking. Talking it out and putting it together with planning is really helpful. I am ready to bring funding into the organization and make it powerful. I’m so glad that I’m part of this right now.”

— Lizz De La Mora, Domestic Violence Services

**Building Your Pilot Campaign Early in the Year Gets You Ready for Abundance in End-of-Year Donor Relationships**

Danilla Sands of the United Disaster Relief of Northern California was a participant in our 2024 cohort, and created this successful year-end campaign to have funding to refurbish their new warehouse space. Having a matching donor set up within the campaign increases giving 3x to 5x.
