Hey nonprofit leader:

Would you like to grow your nonprofit to 7-figures confidently, sustainably, and without the constant threat of burnout?

(Even if you don’t have a big team, a huge & engaged board, or a ton of major donors!)

APPLY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL NONPROFIT ACCELERATOR!

When it comes to leading a nonprofit, let's be honest:
It can feel like you’re constantly putting out fires…

I call it the tyranny of the urgent, and it creates two big problems: 

First, It makes strategic, intentional - and sustainable! - growth impossible, and

You and your team WILL burn out before you get to the level of impact you’re aiming for.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You can never find the time to actually think, vision, and plan. 
  • You’ve been to all of the fundraising trainings but somehow you still feel like you’re throwing spaghetti against a wall... 
  • You have a board but they don't fundraise & they aren't tapping their networks... you're wondering how to get them more engaged and proactive
  • Your programs are excellent and you know you could have an even bigger impact but you don’t have the staff - or the money - to grow them! 

You’re doing all of the things you’re supposed to be doing...

The fundraising events and campaigns, board meetings, staff culture-building activities...

But you’re still on the verge of burnout, stressed about money, and stuck...

Dealing with in-the-moment crises instead of working towards those big goals in your strategic plan!

The key to growth without burnout is
knowing what to focus on.

I want to help you create a roadmap to intentional, strategic and sustainable growth.

I'M READY TO GROW WITHOUT BURNOUT!

I'm Brooke!

And I've been where you are (and made it through to the other side!).

I’m a lawyer turned nonprofit founder turned impact strategist and coach. I’m an unapologetic strategy geek, 100% Virgo & INFJ, self-professed template queen, and an unabashed believer in the power of abundance to help us create lasting, positive impact in our world.

My social justice journey has been long and deep. I’ve always loved creating things…  putting pieces together into something bigger than the sum of their parts. When I was little, I built immense lego worlds and write stories about made-up civilizations, complete with government systems and languages! As I got older, that love translated into creating and growing high-impact social change movements & organizations.

Over the past 21 years that has led me on so many journeys…  I’ve been an organizer, lawyer, nonprofit founder and leader, board member, professor, podcast host, writer, strategist, and most recently, coach…

I’ve founded and built successful organizations from the ground-up, managed thriving teams and boards, built and leveraged extensive networks, and raised millions of dollars to support missions I believed in.

The throughline tying my many journeys together has been my deep passion for creating positive social change, and my love of strategy & systems.

That's where I can be helpful to you.

Imagine you had...

  • A team you could actually delegate to so you didn’t feel like everything was resting on your shoulders
  • A board that were your thought partners, moving the work forward WITH you 
  • A system for bringing in revenue consistently - not feast or famine 
  • A roadmap telling you exactly where to focus your limited time to get the most bang for your buck - to really move your organization forward!

Imagine you felt...

  • Confident in your leadership 
  • Energized by your work
  • Proud of your organization and it’s impact
  • Inspired by your team and board 
  • Excited about the impact you and your team are having in the communities you care about so much 

This is all possible.

You can work with me & my team to get the clarity and confidence to grow your organization sustainably, to greater impact.

I WANT THIS! I'M IN!

This isn’t just a bunch of training videos and feel-good conversations that take up your time and effort.

This is an intimate, action-oriented group coaching and training program for mission-driven leaders who want a roadmap to grow their organization strategically and confidently, with wrap-around support and accountability from expert coaches…

FAQs

When can I enroll?

The Next Level Nonprofit Program accepts applications on a rolling basis. We have new members joining throughout the year! 

How much time will I get with you?

How much time have you got? 

We start our work together with your 1:1 kickoff call that leads to the playbook, Core Growth Goal, and Program Playbook.  Then we’ll continue to work together inside the weekly “Ask Me Anything” group-coaching calls, the monthly Mastermind sessions, and the weekly reviews of any project you’d like me to review in your organization. 

In between these sessions, you can always access my advice and guidance through our private Slack community, and the Bat Signal for challenges that come up suddenly. I’ll be consistently working with you to build the structures that will grow your organization - tweaking and tinkering with your strategies until your organization is set up to grow smoothly and sustainably.

How do I know this will work for me? 

The members who see the MOST success in our 6 months together are the ones that take advantage of all of the expert-level support found inside the program.

Our group calls will give you laser-focused clarity for the next right steps in your organization, but it’s the curriculum, the Slack channel and the peer community that gives you the in-the-moment, day-to-day “what do I do right now?” confidence and certainty.


How much time will this take?

There is no one set answer to this question because every NLNP member starts from a different place and has their own unique circumstances and experiences in terms of how much time and focus they can devote each week to the program.


What I can say is that the structured parts of the program - the coaching calls, Mastermind, and monthly private trainings - are about 5-7 hours/ month. The members who see real growth in their revenue, teams, and boards spend at least this time. 


As you optimize your organization, the program will also reduce your effort and give you back your time by taking a lot of the low-leverage execution and sensemaking off your plate through our Implementation Library, Rolodex of already vetted support, and VAs for hire. 


What if we don’t have the right board and staff right now? Will this still work for us?  

The process of refining, developing (and often rebuilding!) your board and staff is one of the hallmarks of a growing nonprofit. We help you navigate this tricky process by working along side you to build the skills and capacity of your staff and board, and helping you build systems to find and recruit the right people for your team. 


Can I invite my staff/ board?

Absolutely! Growing an organization is a team effort, and the stronger your team is the easier your work will be! 


We haven’t raised 6-figures yet. Is the program a good fit for us? 

Next Level Nonprofit is best suited for organizations that have the core pieces of their organization in place, and are looking for guidance and support in structuring them to support meaningful growth. This typically means at least 2-3 staff people, 1-2 established funders, and sufficient funding to invest in growth.  Often, this means that the organization is raising at least 6-figures in revenue each year. 

Clarity, confidence & support to grow your organization without burnout.

You know how precious your time, energy, and money are. Stop spending time on strategies that don’t actually help you grow your organization, and that could actually lead to plateau or burnout for you, your team, or your board.

Next Level Nonprofit will show you what to focus on, help you identify and prioritize the right growth goals, and support you in building the infrastructure you’ll need to transform your organization and sustain your growth in the long term.
