Overwhelmed Nonprofit Leaders Find Clarity and Success with Weekly Game Plan

Hey, Bestie!


In my 15 years of nonprofit fundraising, I’ve seen it all—the endless juggling of donor communications, campaigns, events, and program management. I’ve seen incredible, passionate leaders pouring their hearts into their missions while feeling like they’re drowning in tasks and struggling to keep up.


I’ve seen what happens when there’s no clear plan: missed opportunities, burnout, and that nagging feeling that you’re always playing catch-up. But I’ve also seen the incredible transformation that happens when nonprofits take control of their planning. When they focus on the right tasks at the right time, everything changes.


That’s why I created the Weekly Success Plan series. It’s my way of helping you cut through the chaos, prioritize what matters most, and build a sustainable roadmap for success.

Welcome to Your Nonprofit Bestie’s Weekly Game Plan!

This isn’t just another to-do list.


It’s your step-by-step roadmap to focus your energy, maximize impact, and plan ahead without losing sight of what matters most. Every week, I’ll share actionable steps you can take this week, next week, next month, over the next three months, and for end-of-year success to keep your nonprofit thriving. Whether it’s increasing donor retention, preparing for Giving Season, or launching your next campaign, I’ve got you covered.

What You’ll Get from This Series

This series is designed to be more than just advice—it’s a transformation. My goal is to help you:

  • Save time: By focusing on what matters most, you’ll cut through the noise and stop wasting time on tasks that don’t move the needle.
  • Increase donor retention: Studies show that retaining donors is 5x more cost-effective than acquiring new ones. With the right strategies, you can boost your retention rates and build stronger relationships with your supporters.
  • Reduce stress: Planning ahead means fewer last-minute scrambles and more confidence in your ability to deliver.
  • Drive long-term success: By aligning weekly tasks with quarterly and annual goals, you’ll stay ahead of the curve and build a sustainable path forward.

The Stats Back It Up:

  • Nonprofits with a donor retention rate above 45% raise 75% more than those below that threshold. (nonprofitpro.com)
  • Organizations that thank donors promptly are 39% more likely to receive a second gift. (nextafter.com)
  • Nonprofits that plan campaigns 3+ months in advance see an average of 50% higher ROI compared to those who don’t. (nonprofitfundraising.com)

This isn’t just about staying afloat; it’s about thriving—and I’m here to help you do just that.
