Supporting leaders to become exceptional fundraisers

CEOs and Chief Development Officers are expected to be phenomenal fundraisers the moment they step into the role. However, fundraising is a skill that needs to be learned. That’s where JMA comes in. Jethro Miller provides personalized coaching that helps CEOs and CDOs become the successful leaders their organizations need.

Throughout his career, Jethro has supported CEOs across a wide range of organizations in becoming successful at donor cultivation and solicitation. He brings deep industry expertise and is available to you for advice and guidance when you need it.

How JMA Can Help

Coaching for new development leaders

  • Your team is looking for you to lead the way, even when you’re unsure about what steps to take to increase revenue. Your board and CEO are expecting you to engage with them as peers. And the other C-suite leaders are expecting results—and soon. JMA brings this understanding to all of our individualized coaching for CDOs.

Helping CEOs become successful fundraisers

  • Frequently new CEOs have little or no previous fundraising experience. But from day one, the board and development leadership can have high expectations for how the CEO focuses on fundraising, which can be even more challenging if the CEO transition happens during a time of significant organizational stress or crisis. With JMA, CEOs benefit from an external partner that can support them to become the organization’s chief fundraiser and to establish, from the start, how they collaborate with their development team.

Planning for leadership transitions

  • JMA has specific expertise in managing fundraising through these critical periods. We can help an organization develop a transition plan, including the onboarding of a new CEO, thereby ensuring that the CEO and the development team build a strong partnership from day one and that the CEO becomes an effective chief fundraiser.
