Join us on the journey to transformational giving. 

We all need hope. Non-profits especially need hope right now. Raising hope is what has driven my work for decades as a non-profit professional.  Hope is the fuel that powers our work for a better future—a better world. Hope that solves complex and systemic problems. Hope that builds stronger communities

 Bold Asking® is a coaching and training program of Vision Philanthropy Group. Based on decades of our advisers’ experience, the Bold Asking® interactive workshops, retreats, small-group training, and one-on-one coaching are designed to equip your board members, executive leaders, and development staff with the tools they need to be highly effective leaders and partners in major gift fundraising and transformational philanthropy.

My dream is to help non-profit leaders become better fundraisers and support them in pursuing meaningful experiences, including fulfilling careers in philanthropy and the fundraising profession. I am honored to share the many lessons I have learned on my gratifying forty-plus-year journey in philanthropy that transforms people’s lives, institutions, and, ultimately, our world. So, let's get busy Raising Hope!  — Susan Holt, Vision Philanthropy Group

“VPG breaks through the uncertainty and intimidation of asking for philanthropic contributions. In our training, Susan provided clear, straightforward advice and specific language to empower our board and staff. She laid out a framework but also left room to tailor the conversation to each person’s style. Within the first thirty minutes of our training, I went from feeling awkward about asking for contributions to our non-profit to feeling confident telling our story and excited to share my passion. I highly recommend VPG’s “Bold Asking” coaching to anyone involved in development as a board member, fundraiser, or nonprofit professional.” -- Suzannah Gill, Esq., Our House, Board member
