Sound familiar?
If this is you, a coach can help
- You run programs, manage a grant budget, and supervise staff, and your title and pay still say coordinator.
- You want a director or executive director role, and you need the board, budget, and fundraising experience your current job doesn't give you.
- You care about the mission and you're tired of the pay gap, and you want to know whether a foundation, a corporate social responsibility team, or a government agency would be a better fit.
- You've been raising money for years and want to move up in development, from gift officer to development director or chief development officer.
What you get
Built for a nonprofit career
A coach who knows the sector
We match you on role, level, and goal with a coach who knows how nonprofits, foundations, and mission-driven employers hire and promote.
A path to director and ED roles
Your coach helps you build what boards look for: budget ownership, fundraising results, board relations, and a team you have led through change.
Better-informed pay conversations
Your coach helps you research pay, including what peer organizations report paying their top staff on Form 990, and prepare to negotiate your next offer or raise.
A bridge to foundations, CSR, and government
Program officer, corporate social responsibility, and public-sector roles each hire for different things. Your coach helps you reframe your experience for the one you choose.

Questions
Nonprofit career coaching FAQ
Do your coaches understand how nonprofits work?
We match you on role, level, and goal with a coach who knows how the nonprofit sector hires and promotes. Our bench includes former recruiters and talent acquisition leaders, certified career counselors, and coaches with backgrounds in education, HR, and finance.
Can I move from a nonprofit into a corporate job?
Yes. Program, partnerships, fundraising, and operations experience carries over to corporate social responsibility, partnerships, customer success, and operations roles. Your coach helps you pick a target, describe your work in business terms, and set your salary expectations for the move.
How do I become an executive director?
Most boards look for a record of managing a budget, raising money, working with a board, and leading staff. Your coach helps you find the gaps in your experience, close them in your current role or through board service elsewhere, and position yourself for search firms and hiring committees.
What if my coach isn't the right fit?
Tell us within 48 hours of your first session and we'll re-match you or refund you. That's our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
