Fundraisers. Moms. Superheroes?

Giant Squid Group is a by-woman, for-woman consultancy reenvisioning the way that nonprofits work, grow, and raise money. As nonprofit veterans, fundraisers, and mothers, we’re used to wearing all the hats, and juggling all the balls––and we know our partners feel the same way. We offer no-nonsense management training on fundraising best practices, access to action-driven resources, and custom trainings that get board members to pay attention.

And, if you’re wondering where the name Giant Squid Group came from, that’s what happens when you get three writers together at a Chicago dive bar with a crock-pot full of hot dogs.

No one starts a nonprofit because
they want to be a fundraiser, but here you are...

You wake up every morning ready to work hard and make the world a better place. Instead, looming grant deadlines, financial reports, and overwhelming events leave you paralyzed and frustrated.

If you’re wearing all the hats in your organization and feel like you don’t know how to raise the money you need, isn’t now the time to figure out a better way?

Giant Squid Group’s Coaching Program gives passionate nonprofit leaders the one-on-one coaching and support to launch successful fundraising campaigns, write winning grant proposals, and fund their work.
