Major Gift Momentum

$650/month

Open any time. I ask you for three months, and most members stay for at least a year.

Private Major Gift Coaching

starting at $5,000/month

Week One

You hear yourself in three other people.

Three other members are wrestling with the same situation you brought. I walk each one through a different approach, and you pick the one that fits your donor. You implement it the next day.

Between Calls

You need a script, so you hop into the community.

You need a new script for getting in the door with a prospect. You search the Skool library, find what you need, and post a question. You get eight replies from peers, and one from me.

Week Three

You bring two questions to the next call.

First: how do I get past a gatekeeper? You walk away with two tactics you can use immediately. Second: how do I ask a former board member who wants to give but is also jaded? The room helps you find the angle.

After the Call

You pull what you need and get to work.

You download a sample major gift proposal for inspiration, sit down, and write your next ask. The framework is already in your hands. You are not starting from a blank page.

Before a Big Meeting

You rewatch the donor meeting course to brush up.

You have an important meeting coming up with a major prospect. You pull up the course on how to have a donor meeting, rewatch the parts that matter, and walk in ready. It takes twenty minutes and it changes the conversation.

When the Gift Lands

You post a recent win and celebrate with your peers.

The gift closes. You hop into the community and share the win, because the people in that room understand what it took. The replies roll in, you celebrate together, and then someone asks how you did it, so the whole room learns from your ask too.

Your Weekly Call

Mary has zhuzhed the proposal you ask next week.

You hop on your weekly call with Mary. She has already tightened the proposal you are slated to ask next week. Then you deep dive into the ask itself, role play it, and work through the objections you are most afraid of until you can handle them in your sleep.

After the Meeting

You call Mary from the car.

You have the meeting and immediately call Mary from the car to debrief. You talk through what the donor said, what it means, and exactly what the follow up looks like. You are not sitting with it alone.

Next Week's Call

You dig into your portfolio and get two moves per donor.

You hop on the next week's call and dig into your portfolio together. You walk out with two creative next steps for each of your top ten donors, the kind that move a relationship, not just keep it warm.

Between Calls

You do the work and keep Mary posted.

You go do the work. You have successes, you hit snags, and you keep Mary posted the whole way. This is where the between-meeting access matters. Donors do not wait for your next scheduled call, and neither do you.

When a Question Hits

You text Mary about board engagement.

A question about board engagement comes up and it cannot wait. You text Mary. You get a real answer, not a ticket number, and you move forward the same day.

Your Next Weekly Call

Mary gives you three creative year-end strategies.

You get on your next weekly call and talk through how your deliverables are going. Then Mary hands you three creative year-end strategies tailored to your donors, and you leave with a plan you can run the moment you get off the call.

"Within six weeks of starting private coaching with Mary, I closed a $250,000 gift. The weekly meetings kept me focused, accountable, and confident. She helped me see exactly which donors to prioritize and gave me the language to make the ask without freezing. I went from dreading solicitation conversations to looking forward to them."

"I was spinning my wheels trying to manage 60+ donors with no real strategy. Mary helped me see that I was spending 80% of my time on donors who would never make a major gift. Within two months of coaching, I had a clear portfolio, a cultivation rhythm, and the confidence to ask for a 7-figure gift. We closed it. I honestly don't recognize the fundraiser I was before working with Mary."

"Mary helped me restructure my entire portfolio in the first month. I went from 80 donors to 20 that actually mattered."

"The frameworks Mary teaches are unlike anything I learned in 15 years of fundraising. Worth every penny."

"I closed my first 6-figure gift three weeks into monthly coaching. The clarity Mary brings is remarkable."

"Best investment our development shop has made in years."

"Mary gave me the exact words to use. I stopped overthinking and started asking."

"We tripled our major gift revenue in one fiscal year. Mary's coaching was the catalyst."
