The Funding FReedom Fellowship
A 6-week Fundraising Bootcamp For Non-profit Leaders
This program is built around the core framework from the Funding Freedom Method.
The Strategy.
The Story.
The Ask.
Based on the Funding Freedom Method
In Funding Freedom by Austin Jack, it breaks down why the ask matters more than the relationship, how to tell a story that compels action, and how to build a strategy that survives failure and scales impact.
Austin Jack pours a decade into this method that has since been adopted by dozens of non-profits across the USA. This 6 week fellowship teaches how to master fundraising.
Participants do not passively learn these concepts.
They apply them directly to their own organization, their own donors, and their own funding goals. This is execution-focused training for people who intend to win.
