Meraki Nonprofit Social Council

A supportive, social learning community for small and growing nonprofits.

Whether you’re leading a small nonprofit, launching a new program, or simply craving more guidance and community as you navigate fundraising—you don’t have to do it alone.

The Meraki Nonprofit Social Council is a private membership community designed to bring nonprofit leaders together to learn, connect, and strengthen their fundraising with confidence, clarity, and support.

This is your space to grow with other mission-driven leaders—and to get hands-on guidance directly from nonprofit consultant Chelsea Cain, master's in non-profit management and  founder of Meraki Fundraising with over 14 years of experience in the industry.

This community was created for:

• Newer or smaller nonprofits looking for guidance
• Leaders who want practical fundraising skills—not just theory
• Anyone who wants a safe, supportive space to ask questions and get real feedback
• People who learn best through conversation, examples, and collaboration

If you want to build stronger campaigns, deepen donor engagement, and grow your impact with confidence, you’re in the right place.

Monthly One-Hour Meeting

Each month, we meet online for one focused training session on a topic chosen by the Council.
You’ll receive:

• A guided presentation by Chelsea or a volunteer member
• Real-time discussion, Q&A, and group feedback
• Practical steps you can use right away

Meetings are on or around the 15th of each month and replays are provided.

Free Monthly Digital Download

Each session comes with a member-only downloadable resource such as:

• Templates
• Checklists
• Planning guides
• Donor engagement tools

These will also be sold on the Meraki Fundraising website—but members get them free every month.

Private Online Community

Members receive access to the private Meraki Nonprofit Social Council group where you can:

• Share ideas and get feedback
• Ask questions between meetings
• Connect with other nonprofit leaders
• Receive support from Chelsea and the Meraki team
• Celebrate wins and talk through challenges

It’s the peer-to-peer engagement nonprofit leaders usually wish they had access to—now in one easy space.

This model is built on best practices from successful learning communities:

• Ongoing support instead of one-time workshops
• Peer learning plus professional guidance
• Short, monthly sessions that actually fit into your schedule
• Resources you can use immediately in your fundraising
• Community accountability that helps you stay consistent

You get structure and flexibility—just what busy nonprofit leaders need.
