Sponsoring a Fundraising Intensive Cohort

Each cohort is curated to bring together 5 to 7 community-based organizations who can benefit from fundraising coaching and tailored support.

Your partners are navigating shrinking funding, shifting priorities, and increasing pressure to diversify revenue. The question most funders are sitting with: how do we help build sustainable fundraising practices without adding to burnout?

Fundraising is one of the most mission-critical and isolating challenges facing early-stage and community-based organizations. Many operate with limited team capacity, small budgets, and little proximity to funders or peer networks, especially those based in rural or under-resourced regions.

The Fundraising Intensive Cohort changes this. It builds fundraising capacity and brings organizations into a supportive peer community at a moment when both matter.

Sessions range from 1 to 1.5 hours

June 11: Kick Off
June 18: Priority Setting
June 25: Finding the Right Fit Funders
July 2: Refining Your Pitch
July 9: Funder Outreach that Works
July 16: Outreach Wins and Roadblocks
July 23: Wrap Up Call

All sessions will be held at 11:00 am EDT | 3:00 pm UTC.

As a cohort member, your partners will receive a bonus Connective Impact Membership, which includes:

• monthly Funder Q&As
• quarterly Funder Intel Q&As
• weekly funding opportunities
• funder intel database 

They will also receive one additional virtual funder engagement opportunity.

The connections and relationship building will continue beyond our two months together. A one-hour 1-on-1 strategy call is available to support your partners after the cohort sessions are complete.
