Petrus Fundraising Accelerator Coaching Client

"I went from unenthusiastically acknowledging that fundraising was a necessary evil in my work schedule to seeing the possibilities it presented.

[Since beginning coaching] we've seen very substantial growth in overall giving, total donors, and total number of gifts, and have built relationships with a new advisory council, hundreds of alumni, parents, and other supporters with whom we've had face to face meetings."

Will This Work for My Type of Nonprofit?

There are best practices and strategies that are applicable across all different types of nonprofits.

But each type of organization has its own unique considerations, and some tactics within the fundraising program must be tailored to those.

That is why coaching from one of our experienced fundraisers is so powerful! Your coach will help you tailor best practices to your nonprofit's unique needs.

Petrus has helped many types of organizations build fundraising programs, including:

Parishes
Dioceses
Campus ministries
Schools
Marriage prep apostolates
Pro-life groups
Women’s health apostolates
Leadership formation programs
Retreat apostolates
Service apostolates
and many others

Is There A Guarantee?

Absolutely.

We guarantee that if you show up to your coaching sessions, implement what you learn, and follow the suggestions of your coach, your fundraising program will grow and flourish.

Now we can’t guarantee that you are going to hit all of your fundraising goals in a short time frame, after all, because we can’t do the work for you. But we are guaranteeing that you will get your money's worth of value and service from us to support you.

However, if at any time in the first 30 days of your service period you are not satisfied with the level of service you are receiving you can email our team and receive a full refund for the program.

Pretty simple.

Best case - you build the foundations of a self-sustaining fundraising program and are able to grow your nonprofit to hit your long-term goals and make a deeper impact.

Worst case - you tell us we are no good, we write you a check, and you get 30 days of free fundraising coaching.

Both options are risk free. But the only thing guaranteed not to help you raise more money is doing nothing today.
