Hi! I’m Haley Cooper.
A Certified Fund Raising Executive.
I know what it’s like to feel alone in fundraising.
Executives, fundraisers, and board members work as hard as they can – but separately, in silos.
It’s a two-fold issue: (1) organizations don’t always have the structure or culture to nurture, engage, and retain people long-term (2) individual team members and volunteers can’t communicate their impact because they’re disconnected from the mission and each other.
This causes staff burnout, and donor attrition, and ultimately, hurts the people we serve.
I help nonprofits raise more money through fundraising training, “done for you” fund development strategy and campaign implementation. I also use the Emotional Connection Process (EmC) to support nonprofits in building psychological safety, camaraderie, and capacity for transformational relationships.


It doesn’t have to be that way…
Change is always possible, but it starts with self-reflection and understanding how we want to show up in the world: as organizations AND as leaders.
My clients raise more year over year, get 100% of their board to fundraise (for the first time), and see ongoing staff engagement and satisfaction.

My work with clients focuses on…

Strengthening team cultures, collaboration, and innovation

Coaching on building meaningful donor relationships

Fundraising strategy plans, campaign development, and case statements
My Why…
I believe deeply that we can change our approach to leadership and fundraising.
I’ve worked at every level of the nonprofit sector. Although I loved so much about serving as a front-line fundraiser, nonprofit executive, Executive Director, and board member, I’ve also experienced the array of factors that lead to burnout on an individual and organizational level.
What changed everything for me, was learning the importance of self-reflection and the language of emotions. The ability to show up for me first, allows me to be fully present in my fundraising.
Today, I’m passionate about empowering, elevating, and engaging nonprofit leaders to build healthy, thriving organizations.
I am here to disrupt the way things have “always been done” so we can raise more revenue to achieve our mission.
This work isn’t easy but we can do it together!
