Support for Nonprofit Leaders
We offer support in the form of facilitated peer support, training, and coaching for nonprofit executive directors and board members. Our ongoing monthly Leader’s Circle meeting is for executive directors and the Board Leadership Accelerator is designed specifically for board chairs or vice chairs who seek clarity on their role as board leaders.
Leader’s Circle
The Colorado Leader’s Circle is a free monthly gathering designed for nonprofit Executive Directors and CEOs. Established in 2016, this group of 20 dedicated leaders comes together virtually each month to exchange resources, share insights, and provide mutual support in a trusted and collaborative environment.
Leader’s Circle meets the third Tuesday of the month from 11-12 p.m. via Zoom. Click the button below to learn more!

This is a limited cohort opportunity from March through May [with optional support sessions in June and July]. Meetings are tentatively scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 12-1 p.m.

The Sh!t Show Survival Guide: Navigating with Purpose and Resolve
REGISTER
Join us for the second session in our “Sh!t Show Survival Guide” webinar series as we explore organizational well-being through a trauma-informed lens. This interactive session will help nonprofit leaders and teams better understand the unique stressors their organizations face, from burnout and high turnover to persistent “crisis mode” operations, and how to respond with compassion, strategy, and sustainability.
We’ll unpack what organizational trauma looks like, the principles of trauma-informed practice, and the structural factors that impact nonprofit health. Through real-world examples and small-group dialogue, participants will assess where their organization is thriving and where support is needed.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
☑️ Recognize how scarcity thinking has shaped their organizational culture and decision-making processes
☑️ Reconnect with their core mission and articulate their organization's unique strengths and contributions
☑️ Utilize approaches that cultivate resilience and embed sustainability into your organization’s core
☑️ Implement the S.O.A.R. framework for sustaining organizational wellness
Who Should Attend: Nonprofit staff, managers, executive leaders, and board members invested in creating healthier, more resilient organizations.

During this session, we explored actionable insights and best practices for navigating donor-advised funds, empowering nonprofits to access this vital funding source while strengthening donor relationships.
