Introducing: The Nonprofit Fixer Fundraising Focus Session

  • In just 3 hours, you will transform the way your organization raises money and tells its story. You get me, Sean, a 35-year fundraising expert, laser-focused on helping you craft your nonprofit's fundraising messaging. 

  • This isn't a generic workshop! It’s a personalized, deep-dive strategy experience designed to equip you with a clear, actionable fundraising roadmap tailored to your organization's unique mission, capacity, and goals.

  • I have raised tens of millions of dollars for causes, candidates, and campaigns using every method possible. But crafting a compelling pitch is my sweet spot. I will show you how to unlock money with every conversation. 

How it works: What Happens When You Buy a Fundraising Focus Session?

Here is exactly what happens when you book:

  1. After you purchase the session, I’ll ask you for your current fundraising materials and review them in advance of our Focus Session so we are ready to go minutes into our session. I’ll give you homework to do before our first session.

  2. You will be able to book your 3-hour session on my calendar immediately. You can bring up to 3 people from your organization to the session. 

  3. During your Focus Session, I will work with you to refine your fundraising message by helping you craft a more compelling pitch that connects with donors and clearly communicates your impact. I will show you the exact steps to get everyone in your organization excited and involved in fundraising. 

  4. Your Next-Step Action Plan: You will walk away with concrete, prioritized steps you can implement immediately to alter your website, emails, printed materials, case for support, annual report, and any other fundraising tools.

  5. After the 3-hour live session, you’ll receive the recording, and the three people you brought to the session can ask me unlimited questions by email or Voxer (a free walkie-talkie app).

What My Clients Are Saying...

  • “We were just awarded $150k in general operating funding.”

    Sean Kosofsky and Mind The Gap Consulting has been instrumental in supporting our board and fund development over the past year. Most recently, Sean saved me by responding to my last-minute request for help and walking me through the difference between project-specific and

    general operating proposals. Because of his invaluable advice, we were just awarded $150,000 in general operating funding!


    — Taryn Gal, Executive Director | Michigan Organization on Adolescent Sexual Health

  • “The knowledge Sean brought us was invaluable.”

    I hired Sean for help with Board development and recruitment, overall non-profit guidance, and fundraising. The benefits of working with Sean are his knowledge and expertise in the non-profit arena, familiarity with LGBTQ work, and the resources available to us while working with him. We ran a FB fundraiser for 21 days and 6-8 active fundraisers, and we brought in $18,000. Wow. Really, from the beginning, the knowledge that was brought to us was invaluable. Providing the tools for us to reach our goals and get stuff done is so helpful to me as an ED with one employee. Sean has a huge network of people, a wealth of resources, and is overall a really nice guy.


    — Roz Gould Keith | Executive Director and Founder, Stand with Trans

Sean presented the slide deck with clear commentary, interspersed with amusing banter, and frequently gave participants opportunities to ask questions to clarify information if necessary."

    — Anthony McMillan | CEO, Newark Downtown District

    — Dan Mathews | Director of Events & Special Projects, Save The Chimps

    Since 2020, Sean has ​h​elped Kidpower through hard financial times and helping us to become far more effective in our fundraising. ​H​e recently helped us get a $150,000 unrestricted grant​ by helping us improve our proposal!

    ​S​ean is inspiring and guiding our board, staff, and supporters ​to ask their networks for financial support. In one remarkable training​, Sean transform​ed ​a dedicated but reluctant board member who ​said, ​'​I don't want to ask anyone for money." Sean pointed out HOW our Board member ​c​ould enage his network while respecting business relattionships, our board member said, "Yes, I could do THAT. In fact, I have thousands of business connections I can reach out to.
