Jumpstart Network for Good program provides grant partners with effective fundraising capacity-building support to create transformational change. It is a year-long program that pairs nonprofits with a personal fundraising coach and the integrated technology needed to engage community, diversify revenue, and sustain their programs.

One-On-One Coaching

Each participant will have the opportunity to match with a fundraising coach at the start of the program, Participants typically meet virtually with their coach twice a month, however, scheduling is flexible to accommodate the nonprofit’s calendar and upcoming campaigns.

Convenings & Peer Learning

Over the course of the year-long program, Jumpstart Network for Good  will co-facilitate two to three cohort meetings. During these meetings, nonprofit leaders have the opportunity to share success stories, ask for advice, and discuss where they may be challenged in an open forum.

Technology & Technical Assistance

Participants will move from disjointed, isolated systems to manage and engage their donors through Network for Good’s technology suite.

Educational Curriculum & Virtual Library

As a cohort, all participants are enrolled in a monthly best-practice fundraising curriculum that complements coaching sessions. Each month, a different fundraising topic is presented, and nonprofits receive corresponding tools and templates.
