• Day 1: Log in and use PetrusAI to draft an appeal letter, thank-you note, or donor call script in minutes.

• Week 1: Download ready-to-use samples and templates to launch your annual fund calendar, newsletter, or stewardship plan.

Get These AMAZING Bonuses...

When You Join 'The Harbor' Today...

Bonus #1

Access to the Essentials Course Library

($1,500/year value)

On-demand training in the core skills every fundraiser needs to succeed.

The seven Essentials courses cover the most important areas of fundraising:

• What to expect when you begin fundraising
• Fundraising Ethics
• Planning and strategy
• The donor journey
• Messaging
• Stewardship
• Using AI in fundraising

Each course is broken down into short, practical lessons designed to be easy to follow and implement.

Fundraising is complex, and without a strong foundation, it’s easy to feel scattered or unsure where to focus. The Essentials library gives you immediate access to a structured path that grounds your work in proven best practices.

PLUS, because the courses are always available, you can revisit them any time a refresher is needed, or use them to train new staff and volunteers as they join your team.

Use the essentials courses to achieve stronger team alignment, faster onboarding, and a clear roadmap for sustainable fundraising success.

Bonus #2

Live Q&A with Fundraising Coaches

($1,200/yr value)

Get clarity on your toughest fundraising challenges from people who have been there and done that.

Each month, you can join a one-hour live, virtual Q&A session with experienced Petrus coaches. Bring your specific questions about donors, appeals, campaigns, or strategy and walk away with practical next steps you can apply right away.

Even with a strong library of training, every nonprofit faces unique circumstances. The Q&A sessions give you direct access to seasoned fundraisers who can help you adapt proven tactics to your own mission and situation.

PLUS, you don’t have to wait for the live call to get help. The member forum is always open - coaches and peers are available there to answer questions and share solutions throughout the month.

Bonus #3

Exclusive Access to PetrusAI

($1,200/year value)

Find encouragement, answers, and camaraderie in a network of Catholic fundraisers.

Inside the Harbor’s private forum, you can connect with peers who face the same challenges and opportunities you do. Share what’s working in your ministry, ask questions, and get practical feedback from others walking the same fundraising journey.

Here’s Why This is So POWERFUL...
Fundraising can feel isolating, especially when you’re the only development staff member in your organization. Having a supportive community means you’re never on your own — you can lean on the wisdom of other Catholic fundraisers who understand the unique dynamics of working in Church and ministry settings.

PLUS, the forum isn’t just for troubleshooting. It’s a place to celebrate wins, swap resources, and build long-term relationships with colleagues across the country. Many members find that the community itself becomes one of the most valuable parts of the Harbor.

Bonus #4

Community Forum

($1,200/year value)

Find encouragement, answers, and camaraderie in a network of Catholic fundraisers.

Inside the Harbor’s private forum, you can connect with peers who face the same challenges and opportunities you do:

• Share what’s working in your organization
• Ask questions
• Get practical feedback from others walking the same fundraising journey

Bonus #5

Licenses for 5 Team Members
($12,000/year value)

Equip your entire team to learn, grow, and fundraise together.

Your Harbor membership includes seats for yourself and four others at your organization at no extra cost, so you can bring staff, board members, or key volunteers into the training and tools.

Everyone can watch the courses, join the Q&A calls, and use PetrusAI, ensuring the whole team is aligned and equipped.

Fundraising doesn’t work well when only one person “gets it.” Having multiple people trained in the same approach creates shared language, common tools, and stronger collaboration. That means less friction, better communication, and a united front when engaging donors.

PLUS, as your team grows, you’ll already have the framework to onboard new members quickly. By giving access to more than just one person, you multiply the impact of your membership across the organization.

Bonus #6

Earn Credits Toward Signature Petrus Courses

($3,000/year value)

Build momentum in the Harbor and unlock even bigger growth opportunities.

For every four consecutive months you remain an active Harbor member, you’ll earn a credit toward a Petrus signature course - like BOAT or the forthcoming Major Gifts masterclass course - at no additional cost.

These in-depth, cohort-based programs go deeper into specific areas of fundraising and complement everything you’re already learning inside the Harbor.

The Harbor gives you ongoing training, coaching, and tools. The signature courses give you concentrated, step-by-step mastery of major topics like capital campaigns, annual funds, or major gifts. By rewarding your consistency with course credits, you can steadily advance from solid fundamentals to high-level fundraising expertise, without paying extra.

PLUS, this perk ensures that your membership keeps compounding in value the longer you stay. The longer you’re in the Harbor, the more advanced training you unlock, and the stronger your fundraising results become.
