We Design Your CUSTOM 60-Day Coaching Program
Your vision and challenges are unique—and so is your Boot Camp experience.
While Boot Camp includes standard elements like biweekly one-on-one coaching calls, each is tailored to what you need to be successful.
There are no group calls and no pre-designed curriculums. You work privately with me and my team. And we customize all coaching and support to YOUR needs.
After your intake session, our team connects behind the scenes to ensure we’re aligned on how to best help you thrive.
Not Your Average Business Coaching Program:
How Consulting Boot Camp Works
You come in with a challenge and a vision
We all have dreams for the future—but few of us are truly prepared to pursue our goals with confidence. That’s where Boot Camp comes in.
Once you reserve your seat in Boot Camp, we schedule an individual intake session to hone in on what’s holding you back from turning your vision into reality.
It could be confidence or imposter syndrome. Maybe you’re burned out at your full-time job and wonder if you have what it takes to become your own boss. Or your consulting business could be thriving—but YOU aren’t.
You want a better life-work balance. You want a more stable income that you can grow consistently. You want to revamp your service offerings and pricing. Or you want to finally deal with the nuts and bolts of running a business, so you can focus on the client work that truly inspires you.
The secret power of Boot Camp is how it puts YOU in the driver’s seat.

Nonprofit Consultants Grow Faster with Boot Camp
Consultants who participate in Boot Camp grow their incomes faster, land more ideal clients, and prioritize the services they love most.
During her Boot Camp session, Jeri landed two new clients and had TWO MORE clients in the pipeline.
One year after finishing her Boot Camp session, Christy’s consulting business had grown by 37% thanks to what she learned in the program.
Two years after finishing Boot Camp, Camellia had successfully built a business (from scratch) where she works part-time and earns a full-time income.
These results aren’t a fluke.

Laura had a vision for a consulting business
I came into Bootcamp with an idea of what I wanted my life as a consultant to look like, but the FFG team helped me break down all the steps necessary to get there.
This is how Laura described her experience in our Boot Camp session.
Over 60 intensive days of one-on-one business coaching, our team worked with Laura to dig into every aspect of her business.
We asked ourselves: What would it take for Laura to thrive as a full-time nonprofit consultant?
Together, we helped Laura find the answers and make a concrete plan to achieve her dreams, step by step.
“FFG provided the accountability and expert guidance I needed to start building the foundation of my business,” explains Laura.
“I walked away with actionable steps to continue growing on my own, along with all the resources needed to make them happen. Most importantly, I gained confidence in the skills I have to offer as a consultant and how to communicate them to potential clients.”

Gina rediscovered joy in her business
When Gina signed up for Boot Camp, she felt surprisingly disconnected from her nonprofit consulting business.
“I started my business three years ago,” shared Gina. “Since then, I’ve been operating informally, accepting new clients and projects when they come my way. But I was not excited about some of the work I was doing. I realized that for my business to be fulfilling, I needed to double down and get serious. That’s when I joined Boot Camp.”
When Gina said she felt only 40% committed to her consulting business, our team knew we had a challenge ahead.
We set out to help Gina reimagine her consulting business in a way that would:
Put joy and inspiration back at the heart of her work.
Keep the focus on what she LOVES doing (rather than what she CAN do).
Make sure her services, pricing, and marketing match her goals.
Our approach worked.
In Gina’s own words… The Funding for Good team “helped me find the work I love [and] showed me how to focus my business around it.”
Today, Gina’s passion for her work is clear. “I leave Boot Camp excited to launch this new phase of my business and can’t wait to get to work!”
What is most astonishing to me about Gina’s story isn’t that she reignited her passion and enthusiasm. It’s that she recognized that something wasn’t working in her consulting business.
Most importantly, Gina took action to get support to make a change.
Sometimes we all get lost in our consulting businesses. We take on projects and clients that come are way, even if we don’t love the work. But Gina charted a better path forward—and you can too.
Mandy Pearce was a five-star guest on The Biz of Nonprofit Consultants podcast. She came prepared, offered practical tools my audience could use, and spoke with so much heart.
I especially appreciated that Mandy helped spread the word in a big way, which brought new listeners to the show.

Alana landed new clients
As a person beginning their consultant career, Boot Camp was invaluable.
That’s what Alana had to say when reflecting on her Boot Camp experience.
One of the biggest questions we get is whether folks are at the right stage to really benefit from an intensive business coaching program like Boot Camp.
According to Alana’s experience, Boot Camp is for anyone who’s ready to grow a successful business—or land new clients.
During Boot Camp, Alana developed monthly and annual goals and learned to “streamline and define services, make services marketable, [and] connect to the right people.”
Only a couple weeks after completing Boot Camp, Alana shared that…
“I now feel like I have a comprehensive game plan on the next steps to take to get my business of the ground! And I already got a new client project with the help of my Boot Camp skills!
These sorts of success stories are part of the magic of Boot Camp.
Our focused 60-day approach is 100% customized to your individual needs. We combine your vision and energy with our team’s years of proven experience and openness in sharing hard-earned wisdom.
The result is the kind of clarity and confidence that turns prospects into clients.

I cannot recommend Funding for Good’s 60-Day Consulting Boot Camp highly enough! As a first-time entrepreneur, I gained the confidence and the clarity in finalizing my offerings and pricings. I also walked away with actionable strategies on how to keep my scope of work agreements comprehensive yet open-ended. Enjoyed my one-to-one brainstorming sessions with the FFG team — really helpful and indispensable!
FFG is the perfect place to launch. In so many ways starting a business is about moving beyond fear and it helps to have such a supportive team and useful source of information and business training. I came into this experience as a mid-level nonprofit development professional at a time in my life where owning my own time for family, community, and myself has become more appealing. I’m still putting my business together, but I have gained a ton of value that will make the launch feel more comfortable and feasible. The program combines practical business strategy with deep nonprofit sector experience, which I found difficult to find elsewhere. I’ve already felt the shift in my own perspective and how I view consulting. There’s something about the service design process specifically that feels empowering. Taking the experience that we sometimes undervalue as a norm in our careers and realizing how marketable and valuable these services are to nonprofits and small businesses who need our expertise begins to change the way we think about ourselves. Even as I interview for other full-time jobs right now, I see my own work differently and my attitude about my role as a staff employee has started to shift. If you have the resources, I don’t think you can go wrong in investing in yourself. The training, the mindset shifts, and just having people to reach out to when you have questions is what it all comes down to. The network of support is what seems to make a big difference for small businesses, and I’m grateful for this experience. Looking forward to other ways of engaging with the team as a critical resource in my journey. 10/10 Recommend!
As a first time business owner, I came with so many questions and was happy to discover many answers and new things to try through the process! I really value the structure which helped keep me on track and making progress in my business. I especially love the team, their collective generosity, and the wealth of knowledge they bring to the table. It was a super generative and clarifying experience.
Boot Camp with Mandy and Marie was a fabulous experience! Before boot camp I felt stuck & lacked confidence. Mandy put a plan and goals in place for me. Marie helped me get into the details of my services. I accomplished more in Q1 than I did all of last year & have the momentum to keep going. I walked away with the tools to handle clients from discovery to completion. Plus Camellia wrote me a fabulous bio! Next step: keep involved with the Hive, where I get continual support and learn from others!
Boot Camp was a transformative experience for me as a consultant and for my business. The opportunity to have my work products reviewed by experts and receive feedback was invaluable. I now have greater confidence in my approach to clients and clearer messaging. Enrolling in Boot Camp was a BIG decision, but it was by far the best business decision I made in 2025. I can now say with confidence, if you are considering signing up for Boot Camp in 2026, go for it! It will be one decision you will not regret.
I watched several rounds of Boot Camp come and go before finally taking the leap – and I’m so glad I did! Working with Mandy, Marie, and Camellia has been an incredible experience. When I joined, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. They took time to truly understand what I was looking for and were flexible enough to pivot when needed. Now, I’m leaving bootcamp with a clear plan of action, tailored business resources, and two weeks of continued support to help me stay on track.
