We’re are super-excited to be entering a new chapter at Nonprofit Utopia. Starting Monday, January 5, we’ll be transitioning our online community into the Nonprofit Utopia Impact Circle.
This shift is intentional.
Nonprofit leaders don’t need another short-term program. They need a serious, ongoing leadership environment where they can strengthen compliance, funding strategy, governance, and sustainability—over time, alongside peers who are equally committed.
Impact Circle is not a course with a finish line. There’s no graduation. Although, some of the content offered to our members will qualify for continuing education units (CEU’s) through CFRE (Certified Fund Raising Executives).
Instead, members engage through monthly themes that reflect the real work nonprofit leaders face throughout the year—and may remain in the community for as long as the support continues to add value.
Because this work requires continuity and accountability, Impact Circle is offered as a subscription: $1,997 annually, or $175 per month. To support members’ work, Impact Circle also includes access to vetted tools and expert resources, including:
-A 1-year subscription to GrantStation.com
-Selected pitch-development resources from David Beckett, Internationally-known Pitch Coach, Creator of The Pitch Canvas© and Author of Pitch To Win
-Members-only access to selected content from GrantStation’s MVP TargetED series, a six-part funding diversification program led by Alice Ruhnke, President of GrantSation and Sarah Barton, a prolific nonprofit fundraising consultant.
These resources are included to complement—not replace—the strategic work members do inside Impact Circle.
The community opens January 5, and our first live, structured work together begins the week of January 12. Our members will have access to GrantStation’s first TargetEd webinar, Assess Your Funding: Diversification and Strategy on January 12, 2026, at 1 PM Central/2 PM Eastern. On January 13, we will have our Overview with a focused January challenge: Funded & Compliant: 21 Days to Get Grant-Ready.
We’re starting with compliance because every fundraising strategy, board decision, and growth plan rests on whether your house is in order. The signup link will be available on Monday. See ya’ then!
