    What's Included

    Your complete year of transformation.

    Three live experiences. One cohesive system. Zero overlap: each builds on the last.

    Experience 1
    $2,950 value

    Major Gift Intensive

    A full 2.5-day retreat in select cities. Build your major gift program from the ground up: prospect selection, getting in the door, relationship rhythm, packaging your programming, making the ask, handling objections, and stewardship best practices. Virtual options available.

    Experience 2
    $997 value

    The Ask Workshop

    A 4-hour live working session that takes you from 'I freeze every time I have to ask' to 'I know exactly what to say.' Master the art and language of the direct ask in one focused afternoon. You'll practice the exact scripts, framing, and follow-through for every kind of ask, so you walk away with the confidence to sit across from any donor and make the ask without freezing or second-guessing yourself.

    Experience 3
    $997 value

    Small Table Intensive

    An intimate half-day experience for a small group of fundraisers ready to implement Mary's small table method, her complete 3-step system. You'll leave with your dinner planned, your match worked out, and advice on how to meet your goals.

    Mary Petersen

    Taught by someone who actually did the work.

    Mary Petersen spent 25 years as a working major gift officer before she ever started teaching. She closed a $100 million gift in 7 months using the same methodology she teaches inside these experiences.

    She is the author of What to Say: 12 Major Gift Asks to Get a YES (International Impact Award Winner) and Small Table Big Philanthropy, and a member of the Forbes Nonprofit Council.

    The Growth Pass exists because Mary knows what happens when fundraisers commit to their own development, they don't just raise more money. They change their entire trajectory.

    Growth Pass alumni speak

    "I attended all three experiences in one year. The Growth Pass was the smartest professional investment I've made. Each built on the last, and by December I had closed three gifts that paid for everything ten times over."

    Jennifer R.

    Director of Development, Children's Hospital Foundation

    "The Ask Workshop gave me the confidence to make the ask. The Small Table Intensive showed me how to think differently about events. And the Major Gift Intensive tied it all together into an actual system. This is how you transform a fundraising career."

    Marcus T.

    Major Gift Officer, University Alumni Association

    "I was hesitant about the upfront cost until I did the math. Three world-class experiences for less than $4,000? That's less than one mediocre conference. The ROI showed up in my first major gift close after the intensive."

    Patricia L.

    Executive Director, Regional Arts Nonprofit

    Only 5 Available Each Year

    This isn't a marketing gimmick. It's math.

    Mary only sells 5 Growth Passes each year. That's it. Once they're gone, they're gone until next year. 5 Growth Passes each year. That's it. Once they're gone, they're gone until next year's cohort opens.

    With only five passes across three live experiences, the people who claim them get Mary's most focused attention and the most sought-after dates. If you've been waiting for a sign to invest in your growth, this is it.

    The Implementation Promise, Three Times Over

    Every program in your Pass carries the same promise. Come, do the work, and if what we build together is not finished when your coaching runs out, I keep going until it is.

    And because the Pass asks you to commit to a whole year in a single decision, one more thing. If your year genuinely falls apart, we move your dates. If it falls apart badly enough that you cannot use the Pass at all in 2027, tell me and I will roll it into 2028.

    It does not expire, and I am not going to keep money for something you never got.

    Don't let another year go by wishing you'd invested in yourself.

    The Growth Pass is the most comprehensive way to work with Mary in 2027. Spots are limited across all three experiences.
