Hi, I’m Candice Schaefer, founder of Dot Catalyst Partners.

I’ve spent more than 15 years leading fundraising for nonprofits, including the American Heart Association and Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago, and I’ve helped raise more than $58 million along the way. Most of that work came down to the same thing: giving people a clear plan, the right words and the confidence to ask.

These guides are that, in a form you can use on your own. Whether you’re a parent helping your kid hit a fundraising goal, a volunteer who just joined a booster or PTO board, or a nonprofit board member figuring out your “give or get,” there’s something here for you. They’re free.

When your organization is ready to look beyond the next campaign, Dot Catalyst helps nonprofits build diverse, durable revenue. It starts with a free 60-minute Catalyst Scan: https://calendly.com/candice-dotcatalystpartners/catalystscan
