GROW Revenue Program
A plan to fund your mission, and the confidence to run it.Formerly the Revenue Accelerator Program
Nonprofit leaders are under real pressure to deliver more with less. It is stressful, it is isolating, and it is a straight road to burnout. The GROW Revenue Program was built to change that. Over twelve weeks, you learn the GROW Model and use its templates and tools to build your own fund development plan, with live coaching and a cohort of peers building alongside you.
Is this you?
Frustrated by a lack of results? Ask. Apply. Deny. Rinse. Repeat. Pouring time and effort into fundraising that yields little back is demoralizing for your team and your donors. The GROW Revenue Program gives you the knowledge and skills to raise funds well, as you build a fund development plan that fits your organization and your schedule.
Is chasing the wrong money diluting your impact? Tempting funding shows up that does not quite fit your mission, and suddenly you are spending resources you do not have on work you did not set out to do. See how a clear fund development plan, an abundance mindset, and a firm sense of purpose help you find the right opportunities and protect your focus.
Is leaning on one funding source putting you at risk? Annual operating grants are wonderful, until they are all you have. Relying on a single source leaves your organization exposed and caps how much you can grow. Learn how to diversify your funding and build the relationships and resources to serve your community for years to come.
Training you can trust
The GROW Revenue Program was designed for nonprofit leaders by Kathy Arney, who brings two decades of fundraising and finance experience and a rare view from both sides of the money. She has spent those years walking beside nonprofit leaders as they build the revenue to fund their work. Over twelve weeks, you build the confidence and the competence to meet your fundraising challenges head on, diversify your funding, and turn effort into results that last.
What you build:
You do the building. The GROW Model gives you the framework, the templates give you the structure, and the coaching keeps you moving. By the end, you will have everything you need to build your own fund development plan, and many leaders finish the program with a working draft already in hand.
1. The GROW Model and a full set of templates you can use again and again
2. The tools and processes fundraisers use to approach 5- and 6-figure gifts
3. Practical ways to raise the unrestricted funds that cover operating and administrative costs
4. Personalized coaching to help you navigate challenges and seize new opportunities with confidence
5. A national network of peers to build alongside during the program
