Board Development And Training
My 25+ year career as a development executive taught me that boards inspire donors. Success is based on knowing how to build high-functioning boards that achieve unprecedented results in dollars raised, building powerful relationships and partnering with donors to transform organizations.
Yet, I’ve consistently seen board members with had no idea what to do. No clue as to their role and responsibilities. I experienced boards trying to manage staff and operations and championing events as the best way to raise money.
Many not-for-profit board and organizational leaders think:
- ✔️ We just need to fill the board seats
- ✔️ The board’s major role is to provide fiduciary oversight
- ✔️ Development staff should ask for money–it’s their job
- ✔️ We shouldn’t have to give; we already give our time
- ✔️ Events and publicity raise money
These are just some of the myths that lead to limited, transactional giving. Transformation happens through boards that understand the power of possibilities inherent in philanthropy. That’s what Philanthropy212° is all about–Helping leaders achieve unlimited transformative giving.
- MY EXPERTISE: Creating inspired board members and not-for-profit leaders who then inspire donors
- MY CLIENTS: You’ll be a CEO, Executive Director, Vice President of a Foundation or Not-For-Profit Organization
- HOW I DO THIS: I design customized leadership strategies and workshops that inform and inspire YOUR board members and leaders
- WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT: 25 years directly working with low and high-functioning boards. My superpower is in knowing the difference and how to strengthen and develop powerful boards that:

- ✔️ Foster authentic relationships
- ✔️ Encourage and participate in building donor relationships
- ✔️ Know how to inspire transformational giving
HOW IT WORKS: We start with a free strategy consultation to determine your opportunities and if I might be able to help.
You need high-performing board members to create a comprehensive and successful nonprofit fundraising strategy.

Continuous education and training are key to nurturing prepared and enthusiastic board members. When you work with Philanthropy212°, you get the right tools and continuous support in working with those tools to engage and enthuse your leaders.
Staff Development And Training
Conferences are great, but they can’t replace a program that embeds continuous learning as part of the regular routine of your nonprofit fundraising strategy. Philanthropy212° provides you with resources, motivation, and an open help line, as well as on-site training and education sessions to empower and develop your staff. No other company is better equipped to help you with your fundraising strategy.
