Get Your Fundraising Unstuck

by Zach Clark

I get so many questions about how to make craft a development plan. To help more leaders save time, energy, and money I’m making one of our audio seminars available for immediate purchase and digital access.

The teaching in this seminar is usually just available to our one to one coaching members but we’ve made it available now for single purchase as well.
