One of our core values is collective learning—the idea that wisdom lives in community, and that lessons can come from anywhere if we’re open to them. This work is too big for any one of us to do alone. Who are your anchor points? 

Solidarity isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about showing up with care, with courage, and with a commitment to our shared humanity. Click for ways you can show up for your community. And how to reach to me if you need help with your Year End Giving!

At Grouse Court Strategies, we believe that real change often begins with something deceptively simple: showing up. Not just being there, but being present. Fully. Sincerely. Authentically.

I imagine that you view fundraising as a vehicle for movement-building, purpose, and connection. But how do we practically make the shift from fundraising being merely a financial transaction, to an authentic act of connection? 

From my own experience as a nonprofit director, I know the year-end giving crunch can feel overwhelming. But I also believe fundraising isn’t just a necessary task—it’s an opportunity to align values, build community, and inspire generosity. And yes, it can even be fun!
