Getting Started
CRAFT Executive provides a definitive road map to success for nonprofit leaders determined to build the next generation of high-impact organizations.
It takes time, dedication and preparation to master new skills; it's no different than a skilled artisan studying and practicing day after day. CRAFT By Better Futures was developed as the place to master your business, challenge core assumptions and hone your skills as an early childhood leader. In the end, we believe you'll be left with experiences and lessons that you never would’ve been able to get just by your own intellectual effort.
With the introduction of CRAFT Executive, our aim was to support Association and nonprofit leaders that were seeking to deepen their understanding of the social sector, whilst inspiring a new generation that are knowledgeable about fundraising & grants, as well as inform the way we think about, talk about, and support nonprofits from a sustainability lens.
In 2024, we leveled up the mission of CRAFT Executive! We became a place that ignites the growth of ECE Associations and other types of nonprofits with the tools they need to grow member value, do more in less time, and sustain themselves with the right type of grant funds. CRAFT Executive now offers an entire eco-system, with the tools and technology to better manage a nonprofit's most frustrating challenges: payment processing, marketing automation, timely communication with stakeholders, fundraising tools, and grant writing. The key to growing Associations of any size is transforming your Association into a unique experience for members to drive revenue growth. Specialized product selection, upgrading professional development experiences, constant innovation, digitalization and personalization of relationships are the key drivers for which CRAFT Executive can help take you and your nonprofit Association to the next level.
Executive Directors and Board members of any size nonprofit are encouraged to Apply.
