What does it really take to build a fundable, credible, and sustainable nonprofit—especially in today’s uncertain funding environment? In this information session, Nonprofit Utopia Founder Valerie F. Leonard introduces the Nonprofit Utopia Impact Circle, a working community for nonprofit founders and executive directors who want to strengthen fundraising systems and stop doing this work alone. This is not a training or a tactics-heavy webinar. Instead, this session explores: -Why many nonprofits don’t get funded—even when the work is good -The most common fundraising gaps holding organizations back -How leaders move from reactive fundraising to intentional strategy -What changes when nonprofits stop chasing money and start building systems -What the Impact Circle focuses on—and why the real work happens inside community -You’ll also hear about the monthly fundraising-focused themes, the structure of the Impact Circle, and who this community is (and is not) designed for. Who this session is for: -Nonprofit founders and executive directors -Leaders seeking to raise their first $25,000 or increase fundraising by 25% -Organizations ready to strengthen credibility, compliance, and sustainability -Leaders who value integrity, accountability, and peer learning Who this session is not for: -Shortcut seekers -Passive learners -Anyone looking for one-off tips without doing the work The Nonprofit Utopia Impact Circle launches January 5 Learn more: Email [email protected] Important Note The frameworks and concepts shared in this session are proprietary to Nonprofit Utopia, LLC.
