The Collective
Resourcing Cohort

A 6-week program for nonprofit organizations to learn and practice collective fundraising strategies, map and share resources, and co-create joint action plans.

6-week program with 6 facilitated sessions, 2 in-person gatherings and ample peer learning opportunities

Cohorts of 12-24 BIPOC-led and grassroots organizations

Leave with a clear plan for collaboration and at least one new partnership to expand fundraising capacity.

Nonprofits are navigating a critical moment — rising community needs, shifting government funding, donor uncertainty, staff burnout, and political volatility. This cohort offers practical support and a solidarity-centered space for leaders to imagine new ways of resourcing together. It is both stabilizing and generative.
