Coaching programs deliver ongoing, affordable guidance and accountability to help you make steady progress.
No long-term contracts. No inflated prices. Just accessible, practical support when you need it.

- How long does it take?

  • Project Packages: Most are completed in 3–4 weeks, depending on the package and your team’s response time. You’ll receive a clear timeline during your kickoff call.

  • Coaching Programs: Sessions happen monthly or weekly depending on the program you choose, with steady support in between.

- What if I have questions along the way? Is support provided?

Absolutely. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact who will keep you informed and engaged throughout your engagement.

- What if I need more help after the project or coaching cycle ends?

We’re still here for you. You can continue coaching month-to-month, schedule additional strategy sessions, or book another Project Package. Many clients blend coaching and project support over time as their needs evolve.

Just reach out — we’re always happy to continue the partnership.

- But what if...

We get it — no two nonprofits operate the same way. Budgets, timelines, and fiscal year restrictions all vary.

If you need to split payments, adjust your start date, or work around internal timing, just let us know and we'll work with you to find an approach that fits.
