Feedback like this makes my day.

Is your nonprofit team tired of the same-old donor scramble?

Most nonprofit teams are stretched thin, worn out doing all the things: appeals, events, emails, social posts. But busy doesn’t mean effective when it comes to donor partnerships.

That’s why I developed the Irresistible Mission System™. I help nonprofit teams put aside the same-old for something new. It’s a strategy that calms the internal chaos and inspires donors to partnership.

Let’s talk about getting your team equipped for effective donor engagement.

Get a Strategy That Works

Your nonprofit’s mission is too vital to keep missing the mark with the donors you need for maximum impact.

The missional impact you envision is possible. Let’s work together to:

Crush Mission Indifference.
Resolve Mission Ambiguity.
Eliminate Mission Confusion.

Let's Make It Happen

  • Emily Norton, Charles River Watershed Association

    Erin took the time to really understand what we do, how it impacts a regular person who lives in our watershed, and then drafted resets on all of our marketing pieces so that the language was not only accessible but also evocative and engaging and beautiful.

    She is a skilled listener, writer, as well as teacher, and as a result our team is now creating marketing pieces that more effectively educate and engage our target audiences.

  • Sherry Quam Taylor, QuamTaylor

    I consistently recommend Erin to all the nonprofit leaders and teams I coach, for countless reasons. Erin is the only communications professional I’ve worked with who can infuse donor-segmented fundraising strategies seamlessly into messaging in a way that helps them consistently raise more money. She’s savvy—a true business leader that knows how to align a nonprofit’s growth objectives with its communication and marketing strategy. The mentoring and guidance she’s provided my clients is second-to-none.

  • Meghan Powell-Filler, PADS Lake County

    One of the most impactful outcomes from our work with Erin is a more organized and strategic approach to communications.

    Before working with Erin, I would describe our approach to donor communications as somewhat of a plan, but not individualized messaging between segmented donor groups. After working with Erin, I would describe our approach to donor communications as more strategic and focused.

  • Amy Fass, Shoes That Fit

    Working with Erin has helped both simplify the way we talk about our mission and focus on the impact our work has in the larger field of child poverty. She’s a joy to work with.
