Your Work is Essential. Your Leadership is Needed. Now More Than Ever.
The threats from the second Trump term are real. The political climate is designed to keep us overwhelmed and afraid—because when we feel small, we stop taking risks. But we cannot and should not stop.
We’ve seen what happens when we organize. We’ve seen what happens when we choose to act rather than shut down. We know that when we stand together, we win.
That’s why we created Rising Through Uncertainty—a community of practice for white women in nonprofits who are committed to moving beyond fear and into action.
If you’re struggling to navigate this moment—if the demands of your work feel endless, if funding cuts have you panicked, if your board is pressuring you to stop using DEI language—you are not alone.
This cohort is your space to regain clarity, reclaim your power, and step into leadership aligned with your values.
Does This Sound Like You?
- Â Are you overwhelmed and feeling powerless in this political moment?
- Â Do the demands of your work feel too numerous to deal with?
- Â Do you need to gain back a sense of power and prioritization?
- Â Are you worried about funding? Are funders or donors canceling gifts?
- Â Is your board pressuring you to remove DEI language?
- Â Do you need structure and support to focus through the fog?
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about making what you’re already doing more effective.
What You’ll Gain in This Cohort
One of the most valuable parts of this program is the community of like-minded colleagues—a space where you can be honest about your struggles and learn alongside others who get it. Together, we’ll:
âś… Shift from scarcity thinking to abundance
âś… Get out of fear and into action
âś… Re-energize your fundraising strategy
âś… Prioritize individual giving and community building
âś… Build skills to navigate hard conversations with donors
âś… Use Community Centric Fundraising & Philanthropy principles as a roadmap for action
Who This Is For
This cohort is designed for white women working in nonprofits who are committed to anti-racism and using their gatekeeping status for real impact.
If you’re ready to:
âś” Be honest about your racial equity struggles and mistakes
âś” Learn how to amplify the voices of colleagues of color
✔ Move past the “helping” identity and into real allyship
âś” Have the support & accountability you need to keep going
Then this space is for you.

You have power. This is the moment to step into it.
This isn’t about taking on more. It’s about using your existing role and resources strategically to create real impact—even in uncertain times.
Let’s do this together.

We will share real and vulnerable examples to illustrate the CCF Principles. With these sessions we will go over  a few of the 10 CCF Principles, giving you an in depth understanding of them and what is needed to implement them in your work.
Spacious time and agendas for discussion, brainstorming and actionable takeaways. We know that the relationships within the cohort are an integral part of each person's learning journey.

Registration below.
A bit about how to select your register type below: there are a range of ticket prices offered to support us thinking about financial equity and access. Money is often taboo to talk about openly and as with race we need to practice breaking those social contracts that end up keeping oppression in place. The higher ticket prices make it possible to offer the sliding scale.Â
Questions to ask yourself before deciding on a ticket price:
- Do I have access to financial resources?
- Am I making more money than I need to live?
- Do I come from family or inherited wealth?
- Is my employer paying for me?
- Am I an educator, medical staff, or essential worker?
- Have I been impacted by an economic crisis?
No one is turned away for lack of funds. For real. Reach out and let us know what works for you.

If you register now, you will be invited to join our every other month community of practice calls 3rd Tuesday 10am PST on Nov 19, Jan 21 and March 18 through September 2025.
