“Get Fully Funded has a proven path to being fully funded for any size organization!
Before working with Get Fully Funded, I was self-funding most of the work we do, with small contributions coming in here and there.
Since I’ve been working with Get Fully Funded, I’ve learned powerful and effective ideas for engaging sponsors and gaining new donors and in fun and creative ways. I love the inspiration and accountability they provide, and I’m using the skills, tips, and ideas I’ve gained to get long lasting results.Get Fully Funded has made a 1000% difference in how I fundraise! EPIC Outreach went from self-funded to fully funded, and we’ve been increasing our fundraising amount year to year. Without coaching from Get Fully Funded, I have no idea where EPIC Outreach would be!”
