What does it look like when a solo nonprofit founder stops playing small and finally breaks through her fundraising ceiling?

In this episode, I’m joined by Mary Muroski, founder and Executive Director of the Children's Legacy Partnership Foundation. After 20 years of teaching middle school and nearly a decade building her Uganda-based foundation (largely alone), Mary hit a wall. She was doing everything, raising from the same small circle of friends and family, and couldn't figure out what came next. Then she discovered The SPRINT Method™. Mary shares how she went from a $3,000 year-end campaign to hitting a $12,000 goal, achieving her first five-figure revenue month, and building the systems, confidence, and board accountability that will carry the organization forward. This is a must-listen for any small nonprofit founder who feels like they've taken their organization as far as they can go alone.

Topics:

• Building a nonprofit solo while working full-time, and knowing when to go all in
• How weekly emails became the foundation for consistent donor engagement and campaign conversions
• Running a focused SPRINT Method™ campaign that raised $12K to fully fund a girls' vocational center in Uganda
• Why monthly donors are your biggest evangelists (not a group to protect from your asks)
• The difference between therapy and coaching, and how accountability drives fundraising results
• Board building done right: applications, term limits, and having the hard conversations
