FUND DEVELOPMENT COACHING
A career in fundraising can oftentimes feel like a solo act; especially if you work for a small nonprofit. But it doesn’t have to be!
Detroit Philanthropy offers affordable, private coaching services that allow development professionals an opportunity to garner advice, safely discuss challenges, brainstorm new ideas, solve problems, and learn new strategies and tactics.
Prior to founding Detroit Philanthropy our President, Rachel Decker, spent nearly two decades in the nonprofit sector serving in various leadership capacities responsible for fundraising and marketing. Through one-on-one coaching, you can benefit from her wide range of experience.
