We love helping nonprofits build skills, strengthen systems, and feel more confident in their fundraising work. Whether you are brand new to development or looking to sharpen your strategy, our learning experiences meet you where you are with practical tools you can use immediately.
Training, Workshops & Coaching
Take the guesswork out of fundraising. These free tools are designed to help you move from reactive to intentional, giving your team simple, repeatable ways to plan, communicate, and follow through with donors. Built from real-world use, each resource helps you create structure, build momentum, and turn everyday interactions into meaningful, lasting relationships.
Free Webinars
Throughout the year, we host free webinars on practical fundraising topics. Participants walk away with resources, templates, and actionable ideas that can be applied right away.
Recent sessions have included:
The Stewardship Reset: A Webinar Series for Building Sustainable Donor Relationships
From Scramble to System: Turning Strategy into Stewardship Rhythm
Fall Back in Touch: Stewardship Before the Ask

The Stewardship Intensive: Mastering the Art of Winning Donors for Life
The Stewardship Reset was a free webinar series hosted by The Cause Catalyst Co. that explored how to build intentional, sustainable stewardship systems. Across six sessions, we walked through the Stewardship Ladder, stewardship planning, capacity based decision making, daily rhythms, leadership in hard moments, and post-event follow-up.
Workshops
You can also find us leading sessions at conferences and hosting workshops directly with nonprofits. We design custom workshops for boards, staff teams, and fundraising departments, available both virtually and in person. Whether you bring us in for a conference breakout or an internal training, we tailor the session to your goals, your capacity, and your current systems so you leave with a plan you can put to work.
Common workshop topics include:
Donor Stewardship Strategy
Donor Acknowledgment Systems
Clean Up Your CRM
Mid-Level and Major Donor Planning
Creating a Year-Round Fundraising and Stewardship Calendar
Guided Cohorts
This year, we are hosting two guided cohorts designed to help your team build real fundraising traction with clear tools and accountability.
The Stewardship Installation Cohort helps you install a simple, sustainable donor stewardship system by building your rhythm, clarifying ownership, setting up basic donor segments, and creating templates and tracking systems so donor care is organized and consistent.
The Major Donor Momentum Cohort supports teams ready to strengthen major donor communication with a practical plan for prioritizing key relationships, defining next-step outreach, and building a steady cadence of meaningful donor connection you can maintain week to week.
Looking for a deeper, guided process?
Our Development Deep Dive takes the concepts we teach across our trainings, workshops, and cohorts, and applies them directly to your organization. You will receive personalized assessments, strategy design, and systems that set your fundraising on a sustainable path.
