Small & Mighty Membership
Membership
$119.00 / year for 2 years
Cut through the clutter, eliminate fundraising overwhelm, and RAISE MORE MONEY with clarity and ease.
The Small & Mighty Membership program will provide members with two concise, targeted sets of fundraising and nonprofit management resources each month.
- Your first monthly email will feature a tactical, how-to guide, covering topics such as: grant proposal writing, keeping the donors you have, finding new donors, refining your nonprofit’s mission statement, turning a fundraising “no” into a “maybe” or a “yes,” and more.
- Your second monthly email will present News & Views: trends in fundraising, interesting articles, useful new data, and other highlights from the world of philanthropy.
While Small & Mighty is designed with smaller fundraising shops in mind (places with few resources for training and professional development, where multi-tasking and jack-of-all-tradesing is the norm)… anyone can join! Size does not matter here.
You need direct, easy-to-digest resources that you can use in a flash. The Small & Mighty Membership program has got you covered.
About this product:
What if fundraising could be inspirational? And creative? And… fun?
What if you could approach your next grant proposal with confidence? What if you could work smarter and achieve fundraising better results? What if raising a fortune didn’t cost you a fortune? While there are plenty of fundraising resources out there to help you write grant proposals, find new donors, and stay on top of philanthropic trends… it’s just way too much information for anyone to absorb. Some of what’s out there is helpful. Some of it is mediocre. A lot of it is junk. With the Small & Mighty Membership program, you won’t have to sift through the clutter. Each month, you’ll get short, actionable, results-oriented tools that have been road tested over 25+ years of working with a vast array of nonprofits. You’ll get two resources per month. The first will be a targeted, succinct, how-to guide, such as:
- Tips for Writing a Grant Proposal Budget
- Keeping Friends in High Places – Ideas for Donor Stewardship
- Turning a Fundraising “No” into a “Maybe” or a “Yes”
- Things to Never Write in a Grant Proposal
- Measuring Your Nonprofit’s Results with Logic Models
- How to Start Up a Conversation with a Potential Donor
- Creating (or Refining) Your Nonprofit’s Mission Statement
- Proposal Preparation Checklist
- Where to Find Potential Foundation Donors
The second resource you receive each month will be a News & Views message: interesting and relevant articles, trends in philanthropy, new ideas, and notes from the field. This monthly resource will help you stay on top of what’s happening in the nonprofit world and generate meaningful conversations with your board members, donors, and colleagues.
At the end of your first year in the Small & Mighty Membership program, you will know how to:
Write a grant proposal, and put all of the pieces of the proposal together. Create a proposal budget. Take care of your current donors, so they keep on giving. Refresh your mission statement. Start up compelling conversations with potential donors. Decide which potential foundation grants are worth pursuing. Write a clear job description for your organization’s board members. Discuss trends and new ideas in philanthropy with board members, potential donors, staff, and other partners. Your annual membership entitles you to 12 months of tips, tools, ideas, insights, and creative inspiration. All of these resources will be delivered directly to your email inbox, in a bite-sized format that you can review, understand, and put to use right away.
For around the cost of just one webinar or book from a source like the Chronicle of Philanthropy, Council on Foundations, or Network for Good, Small & Mighty Members get TWENTY-FOUR sets of fundraising tools, worksheets, and new strategies (plus occasional bonus content!) with their annual membership.
For less than $10 per month, you get a fantastic set of how-to resources and fresh ideas that you can turn to time and time again. Join now, and unleash your fundraising potential! (No Sweat Guarantee: What if you become a Small & Mighty Member, and then you decide it’s not your cup of tea? No sweat! If you contact the program in writing within the first 30 days of your membership, you will receive a refund for the membership fee, minus a 3% credit card processing fee. And whatever resources you’ve received during those first 30 days are yours to keep!)

As a new Executive Director, the Small and Mighty Membership continues to be my go-to resource for everything fundraising. Lauren’s articles are beyond helpful, provide new ideas, useful information and advice that you can put into action. It’s hard to carve time out of your busy day to research helpful resources – that is where Lauren makes it so easy and puts it all together for you in a simple email! You can’t go wrong with this membership.

Small and Mighty is fabulous. I work in a two woman office and on top of all of my daily responsibilities I need to fundraise as well. Small & Mighty is a great way to learn new tips and tricks. If I don’t have time to read the emails, I can put them in a folder and come back to them when I have the time. Because of our size and budget we can’t afford a fundraising consultant or full-time staff person. Small & Mighty helps!
