Jumpstart Program Grant

At a Glance

Jumpstart is a yearlong program administered by Network for Good (NFG) to build fundraising capacity for nonprofit organizations.

This includes:

• Donor Management, email blast, and fundraising software to raise funds through online donations, events, and peer-to-peer fundraising.
• Twice-monthly one-on-one coaching sessions with a certified Personal Fundraising Coach.
• Template library for fundraising tools such as fundraising plans, board development exercises, grant writing tips, special event plans, etc.
• Monthly webinars to help you develop and accomplish your fundraising goals.

The full Jumpstart Program costs $6,400 per nonprofit, $1,400 of which is covered by Network for Good. The remaining $5,000 will be split between Central Carolina Community Foundation and the participating nonprofit. CCCF will provide up to six (6) nonprofits with a matching $4,000-$4,500 grant for them to contract with NFG to increase their fundraising capacity. Based on a sliding scale, nonprofits will be responsible for $500-$1,000 of the cost of the program. This fee can be paid prior to beginning the year-long program or in monthly installments.
