Fundraising doesn’t need to be soul-crushing.

It can be joyful when you focus on doing a few things well instead of many things poorly. 

Nail the fundamentals, and you’ll hit your budget!

You’ve got the passion and a million great ideas, but without the tools and support you need, it’s easy to feel confused, exhausted and deflated when fundraising falls short.

So if you’ve ever wondered…

  • Why am I the only one fundraising around here

  • How do I get my board, staff, volunteers, and stakeholders to pitch in?

  • You are doing “all the things” you learned on your website, email and social media but it isn’t growing your organization.

  • You’ve read 100 articles and attended 1000 webinars, sometimes with conflicting info

  • Am I going to be this exhausted forever?

  • You don’t have the capacity to do and try all the things you hear other organizations are trying

You’re not the only one.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

You don’t have to cross your fingers every time you hit send on an email appeal or feel like a nag to your board just to get them to do their job and help.

What if you had a roadmap that laid out the hard-earned knowledge and battle-tested tools to show you the way?
What if you had access to seasoned pros ready to help you sharpen your skills?

The Fixer Fundraising Formula is that roadmap — the one that shows you shortcuts without cutting any corners.

You’re not far from becoming a fundraising champion. You’re in the driver’s seat, but I’ll be right next to you, helping you navigate. I’ll show you exactly how the experts raise millions. 

I’ll pull back the curtain and help you have confidence that you know your stuff.

Testimonials

  • Alma Sove | Corporate and Foundation Relations Manager, RAICES Texas

    “As someone with a background in nonprofit communications, expanding my skills into major donor and corporate stewardship has taken a deliberate and intentional search for resources that offer practical solutions and personal growth opportunities.  This Major Gifts Masterclass has it all: detailed and practical advice; concise, insightful, and creative tools; and encouraging tips to try new, subtle approaches. Every lesson added dimensions to my understanding of building meaningful connections and how to mesh the donor experience with meeting the organization's mission. Very grateful to have connected with this masterclass, and highly recommend it.”

  • Amy Middleton | Major Gifts Manager, Salvation Army

    “I am a major gifts officer with over 30 years of life and leadership experience who is at a crossroads, professionally. Sean is clear and concise about what it means to be a successful and effective Executive Director and he freely shares his experiences and some of his key tools in his pursuits. I am happy to have crossed paths with Sean as I work to achieve my CFRE with a goal of landing a role as executive director in the near future.”

  • Michelle Mitchell | Board Member, Truth Be Told

    "Sean's expertise in leveraging Facebook fundraisers for successful results is unparalleled. His invaluable insights and expert tips have empowered me to prepare to raise donations for our organization, allowing us to make a much larger meaningful impact in our community. I highly recommend following his guidance to achieve outstanding fundraising goals through this powerful platform."

  • Kris Shaughnessy | Executive Director, Trisomy 18 Foundation

    “Our nonprofit is not new to Facebook Fundraising, so when I ran across Sean's course 8 Expert Tips for Raising $10K+ with Facebook Fundraisers, I was skeptical, but it was worth a try for the price it was. I was surprised by how much I learned and how the tips he gives paid off. In the first month using Sean's ideas, we raised $18,913 just on Facebook Fundraisers. This amount was $7,623 over our highest month ever. It was well worth the investment! The tips and downloadable resources are a game changer!”

  • Tepring Piquado | President & Co-Founder, ADDSTEAM

    “The impact webinar was an eye-opener! Not only did it provide practical tips on showcasing impact, but it also delved into crucial aspects like leveraging community feedback and identifying overlooked areas of success like who's attending major events. I'm looking forward to using some of these creative ways to redefine 'impact' in our next impact report.”

  • Rob Williams | Development Director

    “Sean’s expertise with Facebook fundraising and how to motivate people helped us raise $45,000 on the platform over the last two years. Plus, his system of motivating fundraisers will help with any future fundraiser or event!”

  • Elizabeth Seja Min | Executive Director - AFP Golden Gate

    “The fact that Sean is an expert in raising money through Facebook and a practitioner and fundraiser in the social sector - in addition to being a tech expert. He actively practices the fundraising counsel he gives. He provides practical tools like a step-by-step instruction guide giving the exact how-to. He speaks authentically and generously from a serious body of experience. The fact that you know what you're talking about re fundraising because you have raised millions in the social sector. He answered each question concretely, micro to macro. You will get practical how-to advice and a great deal of encouragement to go for it, really valuable when it comes to talking with fundraisers.”

  • Michelle Peterson | Executive Director, The Sarah Michelle Peterson Foundation

    “Thank you for recognizing that very small nonprofits need your expert help the most and for reaching out to pull us up, too. I attended your training on Facebook Fundraisers I learned a lot from you and now I can show others how to raise money on Facebook. This will make a meaningful difference for a very small organization like us. You stand out as one who generously shares complete resources and customizable templates to help nonprofits organize and learn what we need to know to grow and succeed. I am so grateful. Mind the Gap Consulting is at the top of my list as I look forward to the day when we have the funds to use your services.”

  • Michele Leclaire | Executive Director, Buckham Gallery

    “I was asked to submit a [sponsorship] request letter with the promise that they would do $500, and maybe "a little more." I wrote the request letter using Sean’s anchoring method and asked for $1,000 explaining what we could do for that amount. The request was awarded!”

  • Kathy Bequary | Executive Director, NYCMedics

    “The Big List of Fundraising Methods was an excellent training that gave us a comprehensive breakdown of various fundraising approaches.

  • his is THE fundraising training and support package you will find. Period - especially for the price.  

    After 33 years of saving, updating, and using these powerful tools, I have compiled them all and updated them for you. I do not focus on fads or flash-in-the-pan strategies. This course combines 40+ powerful done-for-you tools, on-demand instruction, my support, a fundraising eBook, and more. It is a 360-degree look at the fundamentals of fundraising. Many fundraising training only focus on grants, digital, or major donors. I focus on many essentials that most nonprofits want to excel in. Even if you pay for a college certificate or degree (with a lot of dry research and theory), you won’t get the real-world knowledge I bring. The vast majority of fundraising trainings only cover 2-3 topics. This course covers tons of topics — virtually everything!

    You can do this from home and take up to a year to finish the curriculum! Join my Facebook group and ask me questions all year long for free.

  • Yes, you can email me questions! I normally answer within 24 hours. You will also be invited to a private Facebook group with other students where you can ask questions of your peers. I keep an eye on conversations there, too! What other courses offer this level of support for a year? None! 🙂

  • It is what you make of it; in theory, you could watch it one weekend. Most people will take one module at a time since you have plenty of time, a year, to get through it.

    This course is the best use of your time by far, compared to other offerings, getting a master’s degree or doing it solo.

  • The course allows you to start now and you will have 1 year to finish! It is a completely self-paced online course… You decide when you start and when you finish.

  • Fixer Fundraising Formula includes unlimited access to this course and community for one year — across any and all devices you own, anywhere in the world. 

    Too often, having lifetime access means you’ll never get around to it. But with 12 months of access, you’ll prioritize the lessons and get the best results.  

    You’ll make the most of our time together and accomplish more than you thought possible in the 12 months. The actual strategies in this program could be implemented in just a few months. I really care about your results, so I am doing you a favor by giving you every incentive to finish within one year. 

  • We want you to be happy. If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 10 days, and we will give you a full refund. We want you to demonstrate you have finished at least 3 lessons. That’s how confident we are that you’ll love the curriculum.

  • Yes. Display it proudly on social media or on your resume. (Use it to try and get a raise!)

  • There are tactics and strategies for people at all levels of experience. This course is comprised of my content that audiences and fundraisers have been loving for years. You will find immediate value in this program.
