What if you no longer had to deal with large donations on your own?

Alone with my doubts, rejections and unreachable prospects.
Alone in setting up a committee, creating a database, preparing a pitch, convincing my board to get involved.
Alone, too, in knowing whether I was on the right track.
Looking back – and after constantly moving between associations and fundraising consulting agencies – I realised that this feeling of isolation was not an exception. It is actually quite common. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or experienced, if you are responsible for major gift strategy in your organisation, you are often the only person on board.
So, together with Anne-Christine Robine, a long-time friend and expert in strategic philanthropy, we decided to take action. We created Gift Makers.

But above all, we designed a gateway offer, a kind of useful stepping stone to help you move forward and see things clearly.
💡 This intermediate offer meets two very concrete needs that we see every week with our clients:
Breaking isolation: being able to exchange ideas, reflect, test, and find inspiration with peers who are facing the same challenges.
Knowing whether or not you need structured support: because sometimes an hour is enough to unblock an issue... and sometimes it's not.
This offer is neither theoretical training nor traditional consulting. It is a moment to reconnect with the essentials, test your ideas, speak truthfully, and move forward.
And if you feel that this speaks to you, you are probably in the right place.
