I know why you're here...

You're serving a nonprofit you care deeply about, but when it comes to fundraising, it feels like you're constantly reacting, juggling, or flying blind.

 

You’re not lazy. You’re not scattered.

You just haven’t had a strategic, aligned system that truly supports you.

Let me guess...

  • You’re doing all the things. Grants, events, donor appeals… but nothing feels connected, and it’s hard to tell what’s actually working.

  •  You’re tired of the guesswork. Every month feels like a reset, and you’re constantly scrambling to hit funding goals.

  •  You’re carrying too much alone. And it’s not just exhausting, it’s lonely.

  •  You want clarity, not more complexity. But most fundraising advice feels overwhelming, or built for organizations with bigger teams and budgets.

  •  You’re ready for a plan. One that’s doable, aligned with your mission, and actually energizes you instead of draining you.

 

If that's you, you're in the right place.

Because this time?

You don’t have to figure it out alone, and you don’t have to do more to raise more.
You just need the right support and a focused plan that feels good to follow.

Imagine if...

You had a clear, customized fundraising plan mapped out. One that actually fits your team, your mission, and your energy

You finally felt confident in your strategy. And your board, staff, and donors were aligned and engaged

You started each week with a deep sense of direction. And ended it with the clarity that you’re moving your mission forward

 

Strategic support and clear planning for mission-driven leaders who are done doing it all alone.

The Aligned Funding Strategy Intensive

 

This is a focused, 5-week 1:1 coaching experience designed to help you create a calm, customized fundraising strategy — one that reflects your mission, your energy, and your leadership style.

Over five weeks, we’ll meet for five private 60-minute sessions on Zoom. Each session is built around a step in the FLAME Framework and designed to move you steadily from overwhelm to aligned clarity.

The FLAME Process

STEP 1

Clarify Your Fundraising Goal

We’ll begin with clear, aligned intention. In our first session, we’ll set a mission-driven goal that becomes the foundation for your entire year. I’ll walk you through three powerful ways to shape a fundraising target that’s both inspiring and achievable, then break it into meaningful milestones that feel doable, not pressure-filled.

STEP TWO

Evaluate Past Fundraising Initiatives

Next, we’ll reflect together on your past efforts so you can stop guessing and start building from real insight. We’ll uncover what’s been most effective (and what’s been draining you), then use that clarity to focus your time, energy, and resources where they’ll make the biggest impact.

STEP THREE

Explore New Opportunities

Now that you’re grounded in what works, we’ll look ahead to what’s next. I’ll guide you in exploring new opportunities—fresh strategies that align with your mission, team capacity, and energy. Whether it’s donor engagement, recurring giving, or grant strategy, we’ll design a plan that’s bold and balanced.

STEP FOUR

Design Your Simple Fundraising Strategy

This is where your plan becomes real. Together, we’ll co-create a month-by-month fundraising calendar that lays out your campaigns, grants, donor touchpoints, and stewardship in a rhythm that supports your goals and your well-being. You’ll walk away with a roadmap that feels spacious, clear, and completely your own.

MODULE FIVE

Lead with Aligned Action

It’s time to bring your plan to life. You’ll learn how to activate your strategy with intention, turning big goals into manageable steps, engaging your team, and adapting with confidence. This is where you move from reactive to resonant leadership — for the long term.

  

🌿 By the End, You'll Walk Away With...

 

A clear, focused fundraising plan you actually feel good about.

The confidence to lead your team (or yourself!) with strategy and ease.

Tools and practices to keep you focused, even when things get busy.

You don’t need to do more.

You just need to do what matters — on purpose.

Let’s build your plan together.

Inside the Aligned Funding Strategy Intensive, you’ll get expert guidance and a framework that helps you stop carrying the weight alone.

You don’t need to do more. You just need to do what matters — on purpose.

Hi, I'm Dr. Sheena Sullivan

Nonprofit Organizational Development and Leadership Coach

After 15+ years in nonprofit leadership and fundraising, I know the pressure of spinning your wheels, juggling endless to-dos, reacting to every need, and still wondering if it’s all adding up.

I’ve stood in those moments where everything feels urgent... but nothing feels clear.

What I’ve learned, through leading organizations and earning my Ph.D. in Organizational Development, is this:

The problem isn’t your commitment. It’s the system.

Most small nonprofits don’t need to hustle harder,  they need strategies designed for their capacity, team size, and mission.

That’s where I come in.

I help nonprofit leaders create focused, personalized fundraising plans that bring structure, ease, and results,  without adding to your plate.

Because you shouldn’t have to choose between your mission and your energy.

You deserve a roadmap that supports both.
