for most smaller to mid-size nonprofits.
How often have you sat in a conference or training frustrated that so little of it applied to you?

The content is hands-on and relevant to smaller development shops, and obtaining the help and guidance won’t blow your budget.

Hi I'm Tim and I've been exactly where you are and I understand the complexities of your role.
My courses are different because I have worked alongside some of the largest organizations and some of the smallest organizations and I understand your needs.
I'll share my best moments, my worst mistakes, my strategies for growing your donor base and hands-on ways to build a development culture across your organization’s staff.
No matter what kind or size your organization, my course will help you see your work in a fresh, new way and equip you with the right tools for growing your program.
