Transform Your Board into a Fundraising Machine
Become the Board Whisperer
Isn’t it time you had a Board that can help you raise money instead of standing in the way of your nonprofit’s next big thing?
Build Your Board
Learn how to find and coach a Board that understands its roles and responsibilities and is willing to say “yes” by stepping into giving.
Engage & Activate
Get more help. Run efficient and effective meetings that your Board wants to attend. Help your Board understand what you do and where you’re going.
Re-ignite Giving
Inspire a Board full of passionate ambassadors who re-commit to giving and sharing the values and story of your nonprofit with the community.
Time to Fix a “Broken” Board?
You’ve got big plans, right? In fact, you’ve got a much bigger vision for your nonprofit than where it is now. And you’re ready to go…it’s time to add staff, eliminate a waiting list, add or expand a program…maybe even kick-off a capital campaign.
But, if you’re like many nonprofits, the Board you have now is holding you back. I’m guessing it feels pretty overwhelming and stressful to feel like you’re the only one in charge, always dragging your Board along for the ride.
You’re the one recruiting new members. You’re the one putting together a strategic plan (because your Board doesn’t even know enough about what the organization does, or what they’re supposed to do, so all they say is “whatever you think is fine”).
Everything is Not Fine. But it is Fixable.
Think you’re the only one with Board problems? Not at all. In fact, in my experience, most Boards experience some common problems that can be fixed pretty easily — once you all get on the same page and head in the right direction.
And the best part? When you get your Board doing the right things and re-committed to giving, your Board can be your biggest asset, helping you with time, resources and funding.
From “that Board” to “THAT Board!”
Learn how to teach your Board everything they need to know to become a rock-solid, make-it-happen, #boardenvy kind of Board.

“Our Board of Directors wanted to focus this year’s retreat specifically on fundraising — I knew we needed Sandy’s expertise. She’s an engaging and insightful workshop leader, and we walked away with easy-to-implement steps. I highly recommend Sandy to any non-profit that’s looking to create or refresh its fundraising efforts.”
“Sandy’s Board Magic workshop was a great way to start the new year!
It was a real eye-opener for many of our board members, and even the most experienced members learned new things. Everyone agreed it was four hours well spent.
We are now using a consent agenda for our board meetings, which gives us to more time to discuss the clinic’s future. We formed a governance committee, and that committee is working on goals and an evaluation process for our board. And we have other plans in the works — all thanks to Sandy and her workshop.”
“I love working with Sandy and so does my Board!
Whether she’s facilitating a strategic planning session with a small group of volunteers and staff or energizing a crowd of 200 as a conference keynote speaker, Sandy connects with her audience! It’s why we keep asking her to come back. She instantly assesses our needs and takes us down a growth path, so that afterwards, the entire group leaves with clarity and direction.
Sandy and her team bring experience, expertise, and the kinds of creative ideas that helped us discover our hidden issues and opportunities.”
