Green Light Fundraising Club
You are about to discover a headache free way to raise $50,000 to $500,000 a year for your community nonprofit
√ through a system that will take the pressure off you,
√ turn you into an expert,
√ teach you how to gather a tribe of volunteers who will gladly help you raise major gifts.
Like many fundraisers, you’ve likely had experience raising funds through grants, special events or fundraising letters.
You’re under pressure to raise more funds and adding one more special event or one more appeal letter will not get you to where you need to be.
Hi, I’m Rich Foss, the CEO/Teachers Assistant of Evergreen Leaders. Since 1983 I’ve helped community nonprofits raise funds to transform lives. My heart is with nonprofits that provide essential services to those on the edges of our communities. I’ve served as a consultant on capital campaigns and annual campaigns.
In the last few years, I’ve worked with solo development directors, executive directors, and key volunteers to develop a sustainable fundraising system that can help your nonprofit to raise $50,000 to $500,000 every year.
Until we began working with Evergreen Leaders, we thought private fund raising was beyond us. But when Rich Foss broke it down into a process that was understandable we saw that we could do it. And we did, raising over seven times more in the first year than any previous year. We’re entering our third year of an annual campaign that greatly enhances our mission. Evergreen Leaders made that possible.

Dave and our other clients had very much the same issues as you.
- You know you need to substantially increase your yearly fundraising to sustain your nonprofit’s services but do not know how to do it. You know you should have volunteers meeting with potential donors to secure sizable gifts, but you don’t know exactly how to set up a system that can provide your volunteers with all the support and training they need to get the job done. This is very common. Very few know how to set up a sustainable fundraising system and fewer yet know how to implement it.
- You have done your best with special events, direct mail, and maybe you’ve tried your hand at online fundraising but you are under pressure to raise even more funds. You want your fundraising to not only bring in income for your nonprofit but you want to do it in a way that honors the work of your nonprofit, respects the people served, and is cost effective.
- You don’t want fundraising systems that take forever to implement. You want simple, straightforward strategies and plans that you can follow and that will naturally develop relationships with good volunteers and donors. You don’t want to keep re-inventing the wheel. You want a system that will raise more funds every year.
So what’s the secret to this?
It’s not so much a secret than a professional system that you need to master. Sustainable fundraising is a combination of smart and friendly systems and talented people.
Smart and friendly systems are the first key because, once you set them up, you can repeat them year after year. Not only can you repeat them over and over again but you can improve them, making them smarter and friendlier, to raise even more money next year.
People are the second key because when you recruit the right people they will be delighted to use their talents to play their roles in raising money with you year after year.
It took me over 20 years of study, trial and error to develop this system for community nonprofits that need to raise $50,000 to $500,000 a year. And increase the amount raised every year. Green Light Fundraising is truly a system, not a collection of random strategies.
I wrote a 250-page book on this system: Green Light Fundraising: Your Sustainable Fundraising Guide to Raising $50,000 to $500,000 a Year to Light Up the Eyes of the People You Serve and Your Donors. Thanks to generous donors to Evergreen Leaders, the book is available as a free, downloadable e-book.
Now I’ve taken teaching the Green Light Fundraising to the next level by creating an affordable group coaching system—the Green Light Fundraising Club.
Here’s how you’ll benefit from joining the Green Light Fundraising Club:
√ Topical coaching calls.
During these interactive calls, you and I will cover sustainable fundraising campaigns step-by-step and in depth. Topics range from how to lead your nonprofit to adopt the Green Light Fundraising model to celebrating the success of your first campaign.
√ Expert interviews.
You’ll learn from experienced practitioners and experts as I conduct in depth interviews with them about key components of sustainable fundraising. Topics range from nurturing relationships with volunteers to using social media effectively.
√ In depth leadership learning modules.
You’ll learn how to lead a campaign where you have the maximum amount of responsibility for the success of the campaign despite little formal authority.
√ Video tutorials.
You’ll learn step-by-step how to create a gift chart and other essential tools for your campaign.
To ensure maximum learning and value…
…all coaching calls and interviews will be recorded and posted on the Club website for the exclusive use of Club members.
If you can’t make a Q&A coaching call, you can e-mail me your question. I’ll cover it in the call and you can listen to the call later or download it as a podcast and listen to it on your portable device.
