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 original 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 2023, when we launched 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. Today, 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.

In 2024, we leveled up with a more comprehensive mission. We focused on the fundamentals of grant writing. What we learned was that the key to growing nonprofits of any size is transforming nonprofits to drive revenue growth - aggressively and consistently. 

In 2026, CRAFT Executive is relaunching with focus on fearlessness and innovation, digitalization and personalization. This approach will be in the form of Shark Tank with an emphasis on the final Pitch competition to receive a direct financial award to one special nonprofit that stands above the rest! 

Executive Directors and Board members of any size nonprofit are encouraged to Apply.
