PARTNER WITH COACH HOUSE
Many foundations and philanthropic partners already support community-rooted organizations doing important work.
Coach House helps strengthen the organizations behind that work.
Partners can sponsor selected grantees to participate in the Expert-Guided Accelerator, where leaders develop the strategy, programs, budgets, fundraising plans, governance, evaluation tools, and organizational systems they need to become more effective and sustainable.
For funders, that means investing not only in what a grantee does, but in the organization’s ability to carry that work well over time.
SUPPORT THE ORGANIZATIONS YOU ALREADY FUND
Ask a nonprofit leader what they’d tackle with dedicated time and experienced help. They might want to build a budget for expanding a successful program, give new board members a clear role, or put a fundraising plan into action.
Your foundation can cover a $5,000 Accelerator seat or make a capacity-building grant for a priority the nonprofit chooses. Coach House works with the leader to define what they want to accomplish and what support will help them get there.
Cover full tuition for one organization to join an upcoming Expert-Guided Idea to Impact Accelerator cohort. Through nine live sessions and ten individual coaching sessions, leaders work on their organization’s strategy, programs, budgets, fundraising, and board development.
Make a capacity-building grant to a nonprofit you already support so it can work with Coach House on a priority its leader identifies. The organization can use the grant for Accelerator tuition, a board development or fundraising project through Executive Services, or implementation support through Alumni Services if it has completed the Accelerator. Your foundation sets the grant amount. The nonprofit leader chooses the work, and Coach House helps define what can be accomplished within the budget.
Create a dedicated Accelerator cohort for a group of organizations connected to your foundation, institution, company, or network.
Support scholarships, Self-Guided Accelerator access, Platform subscriptions, workbooks, or coaching for leaders who need additional support.
Support continuing education, alumni gatherings, peer collaboration, funder connections, and ongoing Coach House support.
Help underwrite Accelerator participation, coaching, implementation support, or other capacity-building opportunities for community-rooted leaders.

POTENTIAL ANNUAL REACH — PROJECTION
7,500
Potential additional annual reach
As Coach House works toward equipping 75 additional leaders each year, each new annual group could represent another 7,500 people and households reached through community-rooted organizations.
One investment in a leader can strengthen an organization.
A stronger organization can reach an entire community.
WHAT LEADERS SAY
“The most valuable part of the Accelerator was gaining the clarity and structure to articulate what PLAN4SUCCESS does, why it matters, and how we measure success. It gave us a clearer framework for making decisions, evaluating impact, communicating our value to funders and partners, and determining where PLAN4SUCCESS needs to go next.”
“The experience showed me that a budget is more than numbers; it is a plan for how the organization will deliver impact and communicate its needs to funders.”
“Crystallizing an idea into an actual program and organization that can effect change was hugely valuable. It created momentum to move forward and impact change in my community in a way that is strategic, sustainable, and doable.”
WHY COACH HOUSE
The Coach House team brings more than 100 combined years of nonprofit leadership and hands-on organizational experience.
Over the course of that work, Joel, Paula, and Franklin have helped raise more than $60 million for nonprofit and community-based organizations.
That experience informs the way Coach House teaches, coaches, and helps leaders build organizations capable of carrying their work for the long term.
Some partners want to strengthen one organization. Others want to support several grantees, sponsor a cohort, fund implementation, or expand access to the Coach House journey across an entire network.
