The work that we've done in just 6 weeks in the incubator actually is phenomenal. As I’m setting up my campaign, I’m becoming more confident. It’s easy to build the strategy, and journaling has been helpful. I’m doing affirmations and walks, and I feel called to do this work. Even when I feel stress, now I ask myself, “Whom can I ask for advice?” It’s all thanks to you, as the sessions have made me think about this.

Example Successes in Action
United Disaster Relief of Northern California is "Building Hope" in a campaign to retrofit their new warehouse that helps supply victims of wildfires with necessities, and they are harnessing a $100K match set up in the Givebutter platform to keep the momentum going.
El Concilio of San Mateo raised money through event tickets for Cultura Fest so that they can help families in need, and now have other innovative fundraisers running.
Moche Lifestyle raised money via an Art & Alpaca Auction for craftswomen in Peru's barrios, bringing in 235% over their goal so that a big shipment of gorgeous alpaca goods could be purchased from Peru, and as an important side benefit grew confidence in crowdfunding.
