Introducing Goal Buster’s Club!
A small group experience for nonprofit fundraisers who want to have their biggest holiday fundraising season ever!
Ok, now that you’re on your way to getting your holiday fundraising plan done, it’s time to carve out time to implement. But that can be daunting.
- Can you write a strong-enough Ask for your Fall appeal?
- Will your Giving Tuesday strategy inspire your donors to give?
- Do you have enough warm touches so your donors don’t feel overasked?
The holidays are the BEST time of year to raise money and no nonprofit should miss out or leave money on the table.
Learning is one thing. Doing it is something else.
In Goal Buster’s Club, you get the ENTIRE Get Fully Funded coaching team to help make sure your efforts are ON POINT as you work through your holiday fundraising plan.
We’ll be there every step of the way to make sure your stories are heartwarming, your Asks are compelling, and your plan is complete.
We’ll give you examples for inspiration so you never have to stare at a blank screen wondering what to write. From strong Fall appeals to stellar Last Chance emails, you’ll know exactly what to say so your donors give their biggest gift to YOU!
Once you have your Asks and communications drafted, we’ll look at them with you, giving you suggestions for improvement and the chance to make tweaks in real time before you send them to donors.
Plus, you’ll get a chance to see what others in the group are doing and see what we’re creating for our private clients so they blow past their goals this year.
“I’m blown away by our results – $33,845 just for year end!!”
We had SO many big wins in Goal Buster’s Club last year!
We got our first large matching gift for Giving Tuesday – $5,000. And had our biggest Giving Tuesday ever. We did our first mailer. And even though we didn’t do a Last Chance appeal, we still raised a big chunk the last week of the year.
I’m blown away by where we are with our fundraising goals, and we wouldn’t be here without the support of Goal Buster’s Club. We raised almost double during year end this year compared to last year!
Having folks to bounce ideas off of, go to for support, and have extra accountability with is priceless. I’m so thankful for Goal Buster’s Club!”
“We got $45,850 in matching gifts!!
In 2023, we got our first matching gift ever of $2,500. It was so easy to ask, that we asked 4 additional donors and they all said YES! We had a total of $45,850 in matching gifts for Giving Tuesday and Year End Appeal Campaigns!”
If you’re thinking about Goal Buster’s Club, just do it! You won’t be sorry you did!
The wealth of excellent and proven information literally at one’s fingertips day and night was the best! I felt so much more organized and in control than ever before. Next year will be even better now that I have a roadmap. Thank you!”
“We raised over $20K on Giving Tuesday!
My big win during the holidays last year was raising over $20,000 on Giving Tuesday. That’s more than DOUBLE any previous year! And, that was about half of our total holiday/year-end giving.
Goal Buster’s Club gives you very valuable direction that keeps you on track. The best part is being able to get feedback on just about anything through the Facebook group at any time. It was a huge help to me.”
“We raised $100,497 on top of a capital campaign!!
We had a wonderful Fall in 2022. We raised $3,000 more for Giving Tuesday than the year before even though we had JUST asked our donors for a lot of money to buy our building. Several of our major donors gave Giving Tuesday gifts after I assumed they would have been maxed out from giving big for the capital campaign – that was eye opening to me!
Goal Buster’s Club does a great job of keeping members on track even when things are chaotic. Tasks are broken down into bite sized pieces, the deep dives are always full of great information, and the Facebook group is loaded with ideas, questions, and examples from our peers as well as invaluable feedback from coaches and mentors.”

“Oct-Dec 2022, we raised $70,570.
Goal Buster’s Club helped us create steady income throughout the holidays and we reached all our goals apart from our fall appeal which was too soon after an emergency appeal. Our 2022 results were about $7,500 more than 2021 and I’m happy about that.
I got some great new ideas from Goal Buster’s Club and it was very motivating to be part of a group of like-minded people in similar sized organizations. The Get Fully Funded team helped me stay on track, set goals, and plan better. Plus, they are the nicest people!
Running my organization by myself can be hard. I loved hearing from other nonprofit founders who are struggling with similar issues and celebrating similar wins.
I absolutely recommend Goal Buster’s Club. You’ll learn a lot and get a lot of support.”
“We raised almost half our budget during the holidays!
Between October 1 and December 31, we raised $56,641.06 with the help of Goal Buster’s Club. That’s just under half our budget for the year, which is amazing!
My biggest WIN included stepping outside my comfort zone and asking donors for their biggest and best donation, especially donors who haven’t given before.
We saw more new donors, more repeat donations, and more lapsed donor renewals than ever before. It’s like the seeds that we planted over the last year are showing up and blooming now!
I loved the constant motivation and encouragement from the Goal Buster’s weekly office hours and the Facebook group. That accountability kept me focused and in the game to stretch past our goals. My goal for Fall 2022 was $50,000 and we exceeded it!
Goal Buster’s Club will help anyone at any fundraising level gain the confidence to fundraise for their organization. It’s a safe space to ask questions, get feedback on materials and get guidance from seasoned coaches and other fellow fundraisers.”
“We raised over $10K on Giving Tuesday!
Giving Tuesday was outstanding last year! We hadn’t focused much on Giving Tuesday in the past, but following the formula Sandy laid out, we raised over $10,000.
Across the entire holiday season, we raised almost $50,000 -that will help care for a lot of animals!
Goal Buster’s Club helped me stay focused and taught me how to have more meaningful impact with our donors and potential donors. Being able to hear what others had planned was the best part of being in the group. I also liked helping others celebrate their wins (and them help celebrate mine!) and being able to talk through issues that came up.”
“The access to Sandy and her amazing team was priceless!
I was new to fundraising at this time of year and my organization didn’t have other employees with any history for this, so I was on my own. I feel like I barely scratched the surface of using this opportunity and can’t believe how much I learned. I already feel more confident about planning for the year and growing our donor base.
The access to Sandy and her amazing team for tweaking and editing was priceless. They helped us improve our messaging and a large donation for Giving Tuesday was prompted by the message of the campaign materials.
If you are nervous about fundraising at this time of year or feel scattered without a clear plan, Goal Buster’s Club is essential to your success. Not only will you get a clear plan, but you’ll gain SO MUCH knowledge in the process. It will put you on a direct path to success for all your fundraising.”
“Year-end planning was a breeze!
Last Fall was amazing! We had our biggest Giving Tuesday ever and raised $19,000 throughout the holidays. We brought in a lot more smaller individual gifts than last year, plus we saw an increase in first-time donors.
The best part of Goal Buster’s Club was the weekly office hours. Getting to see what my peers were doing was extremely helpful and I gained a lot of insight and inspiration from that. It made me feel like I was part of a group, not alone in my own little corner begging for money.
Having a well thought out strategy for asking handed to me made our end of year planning a breeze. Personally, I had a 6-week medical leave right in the middle of the season, but the plan allowed me to get ahead, map out my strategy, and stay on top of things, despite my leave.”
“I finally feel legitimate asking for money!
We raised $18,011 during the holidays last year. The biggest win for me last year was being able to get out of small thinking and finally feeling legitimate in asking for money. How do you measure that??
Even though I didn’t keep to the fundraising calendar like I thought I would, it was really helpful to have access to all the resources and hear weekly through the office hours how others were doing. Fundraising TV, Swipe Files, and Deep Dives came alive because of the pacing and real context.
Goal Buster’s Club contains super helpful accessible resources on overall and specific topics that I might have known about but wouldn’t have taken advantage of otherwise.”
“I can hardly believe how much we raised last year during the holidays!
My goal for year-end fundraising last year was $30,000 and that was an increase from the year before. Sandy challenged us to get a matching gift so I started with my Board and surprisingly they all said “Yes!” A couple of major donors also said “Yes” and soon I had $15,000 in matching money.
Our Giving Tuesday campaign went well and then a major donor surprised us with a $50,000 gift! By the end of the year, we had raised $84,461.56 – almost triple my goal!
If you’re thinking about joining Goal Buster’s Club, do it! The ability to confer with coaching team truly helps on so many levels, plus the accountability is fantastic to keep you on track. I feel more on top of my game than I ever have before and I’m excited to see what I can raise this year.”
