Help nonprofits navigate funding uncertainty and build financial sustainability

Through Jumpstart’s cohort-based model, funders provide their nonprofit partners with the insight, tools, and support they need to grow their fundraising confidence. During the program, nonprofits learn how to strengthen their strategy, attract new donors, find funding opportunities, and raise more for their mission.

Personalized 1:1 human coaching

Nonprofits receive fifteen hours of live expert consultation where they can work 1:1 with their dedicated fundraising coach. During these sessions, they build confidence, determine the strongest areas of need and opportunity, develop and refine their fundraising strategy, and more.

Group-based learning

Twelve virtual fundraising workshops bring nonprofits across the Jumpstart program together for expert-led instruction. These monthly group-based training sessions facilitate peer learning and sharing to spark new ideas and grow expertise.

All-in-one fundraising software

Our simple, scalable Network for Good software allows your nonprofit partners to grow their fundraising efforts, steward donor relationships, track impact, and access best practice resources. Plus, with Bonterra Que, they get time saving AI built directly into the platform to provide expert insights and complete tasks like email and form creation, donor segmentation, and development planning.

Jumpstart has been AMAZING. My coach Lucas has helped me out soooo much. We have the first complete development plan in our history, and a real strategy to execute it. We had the best fundraising year we’ve ever had last year and raised $250,000 more than we expected.
