Frequently Asked Questions

  • CauseMic Amplify is tailored for 3-5 leaders from each organization. We recommend roles such as leaders in development/fundraising, marketing and communications, technology, or operations. Executive directors/CEOs, board members and funders are also welcome to participate. Use this opportunity to strategize and build alignment with your team! 

  • Typically, the tools and frameworks discussed are most beneficial for nonprofits with an annual revenue of at least $1M and a fundraising team of at least three professionals. The content is ideal for organizations whose leaders seek methodologies to unlock sustainable growth, embrace new ways of thinking, and prioritize progress over perfection.

  • Your attention and curiosity. You may bring a notebook and/or your laptop to capture insights, but it will be an engaging day where multitasking is highly frowned upon, though we recognize urgent matters do arise. 

  • Our experience (and research!) shows that attention spans drop significantly after 3-4 hours of team workshopping. By spreading the event over two days, your team has time to connect, recharge, and return with renewed focus, resulting in more productive and impactful outcomes.

  • Give us a call at (503) 610-9144 or email us at crew@causemic.com and a teammate will get back to you ASAP.
