- You feel stuck on how to move donor relationships forward.
- You struggle to confidently make larger asks and name gift amounts.
- You know there’s untapped donor potential, but you lack a clear strategy.
- You feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of your next steps.
- You’re ready to move from transactional fundraising to more transformational giving.
Fundraising can feel isolating, overwhelming, and difficult to navigate when you are stuck in the day-to-day demands of your organization.
I’ve been there, and I’ve watched the people I coach move through it too. After nearly two decades in fundraising, I’ve found that some of the most important breakthroughs happen when we create intentional space to step away and think differently.
This experience is intentionally designed to pull you out of your normal environment and immerse you in a day of focused strategy, honest conversation, and meaningful momentum in one of the most energizing cities in the world. Between the creative energy of New York City, the focused strategy sessions throughout the day, and the follow-up coaching afterward, this experience is designed to help you gain traction quickly and confidently.

“Working with Bryn has given me far more than a plan – she has given me clarity and confidence. She helped me strategically prioritize the right prospects while challenging me to approach donors with greater courage. I feel more focused and equipped to lead my team and our donors without second-guessing myself.”
-Leslie G, Augusta Christian Academy
“Working with Bryn George was a game-changer for our development strategy. She didn’t just give us a template; she walked us through building a multi-faceted plan. Bryn has this keen ability to zero in on the right prospects and gave us the tools and language to make asks we previously would have shied away from. Thanks to her guidance, our team is entering the new fiscal year with renewed confidence and a clear roadmap for success.”
-Natalie G.T., The Riverside Church, NYC
Make New York City the Backdrop for Your Next Breakthrough
I know investing $5,500 in a single day can feel significant. I also know that one meaningful donor strategy, one renewed relationship, one stronger invitation, or one transformational ask can produce a return that far exceeds the investment itself. I’ve seen it happen repeatedly in my own work and with the organizations I coach.
If you’re ready to step away from the day-to-day, think differently about what’s possible, and leave with a clear strategy for moving forward, Fundraising Breakthrough Day was designed for you.
