Lead with confidence. Raise with clarity.
A six-month cohort program for ambitious development leaders of color— and the organizations that invest in them.
Raise with confidence.
Leading a fundraising portfolio is one of the most demanding roles, and one of the most consequential. Those dollars matter for the work, the people, and the communities at the center of your mission. In an environment where funding is getting harder to come by, having the right systems, data practices, and roadmap isn't a nice-to-have. It's essential.
Ready to Raise Collective was built for exactly that.
Who the Program is for
Development leaders of color who are ready to sharpen their strategy, strengthen their systems, and show up as a confident partner to organizational leadership.
Executive directors and CEOs who want to invest in their development staff and see measurable progress quarter after quarter.
Foundations committed to building sustainable fundraising capacity in the organizations they fund.
What the Program Includes
Seven live virtual group sessions, one-on-one coaching, and a practical library of tools and templates you can put to work right away, all over six months.
You’ll walk away with a fundraising plan grounded in data, with clear goals and a strategy across all revenue streams.
A quarterly roadmap that is concrete and actionable with clear milestones, responsibilities, and a plan to execute.
The systems and practices of a gold-standard development shop, including tools for revenue tracking, donor communications, and effective partnership with your ED and board.
A peer community that extends well beyond the program itself.
