Find Your Flow
A Learning & Co-Working Community
for Heart-Led Fundraisers
Why this Community?
It’s something we know all too well – that our donor outreach can grind to a halt when we’re feeling isolated, anxious, and under pressure.
And our messages can sound really flat or “corporate” when we’re trying to be some shiny, perfect fundraiser who we’re not.
But I know this: When we have the chance to slow down and reflect in the company of like-minded peers, our courage and creativity naturally emerge.
We listen to our intuition and write invitations to donors that are resonant and bold. And we send these messages with courage and conviction, knowing that we’re showing up in the fullness of who we are.
Because, at the end of the day, fundraising isn’t about the brochure or the database or even those appeal letters. It’s about real, heartfelt connection.
This is who we’re called to be and this is what we’re called to do. Let’s step into the flow together and build the authentic relationships that our organizations need to thrive!

The Experience
Arriving: We’ll get present with a short grounding exercise and introductions.
Reflecting: We’ll journal about and share recent successes and pain points.
Writing: We’ll take 20-25 minutes to write. What you work on during this time is entirely up to you. It could be a request for a 1:1 meeting, the outline of a solicitation meeting, or an invitation to a group of donors.
Sharing: You can share with the group what you’ve written or speak to what you’re planning for your donor(s) and how it’s feeling. Or you can just listen to others.
Feedback: The group will share what pieces of the outreach are working well and any ‘wonderings’ or ‘what-ifs’ that could strengthen it.
Closing: We’ll close with a short and sweet check out.
This is for you if…
You’re tired of trying to ‘perform’ as a fundraiser in ways that drain you.
You long to express more of your true self in your fundraising work.
You want feedback that builds your confidence and sparks new possibilities.
You sense your voice as a fundraiser is ready to emerge more powerfully, but you tend to hold back or overthink.
You find that you’re “hiding” in cycles of procrastination or busy work.

What Others Say
“Find Your Flow is such a unique space. It’s a great opportunity to be in a room with other fundraisers where you can show up as you are, reflect on your successes and challenges, and get thoughtful feedback on the nuts and bolts of your work. The structure is grounding, the community is warm, and Vanessa's feedback is incredibly helpful – both when it’s for your own project and when you're listening to the feedback for others. What a gift to have this supportive group.”
