This Challenge Is For

Nonprofit Leaders & Visionaries

Whether you lead a large nonprofit, small startup, or faith-based organization, this challenge will give you the clarity, strategy, and tools to fund your mission at a whole new level.

Raise Big Money. Fund an Even Larger Impact...
Your Mission.

Why Nonprofits Struggle to Raise the Money They Deserve

You’re not struggling because your mission isn’t good enough.


You’re struggling because you’ve been taught an outdated approach to fundraising, one that keeps you asking for money instead of attracting it.

​

You don’t need another grant checklist or gala plan.


You need a system that turns your organization’s vision into fundable missions, and invites donors into a story they want to be part of.

​

That’s what this challenge will show you.

Learn How to Ask for Money...Without Asking for Money

In this 5-day experience, you’ll learn how to transform your fundraising from reactive to irresistible.

​

  • Design mission-based fundraising that inspires investment

  • Position your organization as a vehicle for transformation — not charity

  • Use AI to create persuasive, professional proposals in record time

  • Frame fundraising as an invitation to an adventure, not a plea for help

  • Create ROI for donors through recognition opportunities and values-aligned outcomes

  • Learn how top nonprofit leaders use mindset, clarity, and vision to attract money, not chase it.

  • You’ll walk away with a new mental model for funding growth and a clear target for your 2026 revenue goals.

  • Learn how to reframe operational needs into strategic missions that attract donors with vision and clarity.

  • This is where you’ll learn the secret to turning everyday work into compelling, fundable initiatives.

Day 4: Donor Attraction Strategy

  • Develop a storytelling and positioning framework that makes funders see your organization as the obvious choice.

  • You’ll learn how to present ROI through recognition opportunities, shared values, and tangible results, so donors become lifelong partners, not one-time givers.

Real World Results. Real World Growth.

 

Case Study: thePARC - Panhandle Adult Rebuilding Center

From Barely Surviving to Doubling Their Annual Budget in One Month

When thePARC hired Caldwell, they were surviving month to month with no clear direction. We developed a strategic plan, proposal framework, and funding roadmap and within 30 days, they raised twice their annual budget.

​

Today, they own the entire block around their headquarters and have grown over 200%.

​“We had a vision and a dream, but we didn’t know what we were doing. Caldwell helped us define who we were, articulate what we do, and set us in a clear direction. Since then, we’ve grown far beyond what I ever imagined.”

Refund Policy
 

At Caldwell, we’re committed to delivering real transformation — not just information.

 

We understand that circumstances may arise, so we’ve established a fair refund policy:

​

  • General Admission ($97): Non-refundable due to limited capacity and immediate access to challenge materials.

  • VIP Upgrade (+$100): Eligible for a refund only if you attend every session live and complete all assigned tasks — but still feel the experience didn’t deliver value.
     

Refund requests must be submitted within 48 hours after the challenge concludes.

 

We’re confident this will be one of the most valuable fundraising trainings you’ve ever attended.
