Wow Reader!
Since the Changemaker Accelerator Membership enrollment opened last week, I’m proud to say there have been some really awesome people joining me in the quest to get years ahead in building a successful nonprofit!
Seriously, I am blown away.
Like this super kind message from one of our new members… 🥰
And of course, I’ve also gotten a LOT of questions. (Which I love!)
Since enrollment closes in just a week I thought I’d take a couple minutes to give you some answers.
Here are some As to your Qs:
Q: How does it work? Is this like an online community, or like a course, or a coaching program, or what?
A: All of the above! The Changemaker Accelerator is a membership community designed to guide and support you while fast-tracking your efforts to build. Here’s how it works:
- Community: The foundation is our online community – a group of changemakers who, like you, are starting or building early stage nonprofits. Through this community, you’ll have ongoing access to discussions, connections and peer networking, and support from your peers.
- Customizable Docs and Guides: You’ll have access to a library of special guides and templates, created for organizations in start-up or growth phases – we’re talking policy templates, fundraising plans, and more. And that library of tools will grow each month as more are added.
- Expert support: Each month we’ll do a LIVE Q&A with myself or another expert based on members’ requested topics. (Nonprofit compliance?! Accounting?! Fundraising?!)
- Bonus content: Finally, as a member, you’ll have access to exclusive training modules and content on specific topics to propel you forward.
Q: How do I know the Changemaker Accelerator Membership is right for me at our current stage?
A: Great question! Leaders / organizations who fit the following are going to get the MOST value out of the membership:
- You’re launching or growing a nonprofit and are struggling with challenges in revenue, operations, marketing, and / or program development and evaluation (AKA, your impact model – how you know your org is making a genuine impact).
- You’re less than ~5 years into the process (OR, your organization has been small or volunteer-run for longer than that, and now you want to take it to the next level).
- You’re feeling ready to build and maybe step a little outside your comfort zone. Leadership is growth!
- You’re a solutions-oriented changemaker whose top priority is making the biggest impact for those you serve.
Q: Do I need special training or existing knowledge to get something out of the Membership?
A: Nope! One of my superpowers is breaking things down into bite-sized pieces and making it easy to digest.
You don’t need previous nonprofit training or experience to get started (or to grow if you’ve already past the first steps). And, if you already have some experience, we’ll use that foundation as your jumping off point!
I know what it’s like for all this to feel like a lot.
I’m not going to throw everything at you at once either – you’ll get access to new tools and educational opportunities each month in a super digestible format.
Plus, as a member, your feedback will help shape the types of resources that are provided in the future – it’s a group built FOR you!
Q: Alright, I think I’m ready. How do I join?
A: Woohoo! You can join us HERE right now!
Once you join, you’ll get instant access to the community, library, upcoming Q&As, and more.
My mission is to provide a ton of value at a really low price. We’re doing this at just $15 / month (or $150 / year – equivalent to two months free 😍) because I know what it’s like to build something awesome on a tight budget!
I seriously cannot wait to see you join this awesome group of people changing their communities and learning so much together along the way!
See you inside,
-Amber
PS – Enrollment closes soon so don’t wait too long!
