Small Team, Big Megaphone: How Lean Nonprofits Make Major Waves

12-1 pm

January 14, 2026

Zoom

Who says you need a 10-person comms team to make an impact? I’ve helped small-but-mighty nonprofit and healthcare teams raise hundreds of thousands of dollars (try $265K from one campaign!) — not by working harder, but by working smarter. In this conversation, I break down how to turn limited bandwidth into big visibility using a story-first strategy, smart systems, and a whole lot of heart. From building campaigns that move people to creating sustainable content that keeps donors and communities engaged, I show how lean teams can sound — and show up — like the big guys, without burning out in the process.

The program kicks off February 3rd with weekly video lessons and live cohort coaching sessions every Tuesday at 11am CST. Participants will learn campaign planning, P2P fundraiser recruitment and engagement, storytelling strategies, donor communications, and post-campaign stewardship—all while being supported by peers and expert coaches who get it.

Pricing starts at $180 with sliding scale options available. I Live Here I Give Here members receive a 20% discount using code Amplify2026 at checkout. Additionally, Giant Squid Group is offering two full scholarship seats (details TBD). A free planning session on January 13th will cover how to write great fundraising emails using what you already have (keep an eye out for more information on that!)
