Time & Venue Change

The event will now follow the Monthly Breakfast and Speaker Series event in the same room.

An exclusive, intimate cohort experience where nonprofit leaders discover how to cultivate transformational donors, forge strategic partnerships, and build the funding structures that outlast any single campaign.

Stop Chasing Donors.

Start Building Legacy.

Space is Limited Seating – register today

Most nonprofits are stuck in a cycle of reactive fundraising — sprinting from grant to grant, event to event, with no clear path to the generational impact their mission deserves. This cohort changes that.

Facilitated by Sarau Becerra and Brian Carr — strategic philanthropic advisors with over $50 million raised and 35 years of combined experience — this is not a lecture. It’s a guided, interactive experience designed to challenge how you think about donor relationships and funding growth.

01

Donor Development

Cultivate transformational donors and open pathways to major and legacy gifts.

02

Strategic Partnerships

Connect with mission-aligned partners and networks that expand your reach.

03

Sustainable Funding

Build the long-term infrastructure that stabilizes and grows your mission.

You’ll leave with Tangible Tools

The one question every nonprofit leader must ask when cultivating a transformational donor — and why most never think to ask it.

A practical strategy for strengthening partnerships that multiply your mission’s reach beyond what you could accomplish alone.

A new framework for thinking about long-term sustainability — not just next year’s budget, but your organization’s legacy.
