Turn That Idea in Your Notes App Into a Funded, Real-World Nonprofit
Discover How Aspiring Founders Are Turning Their Causes Into Funded Nonprofits
For Future Nonprofit Founders READY TO Take Real Steps Toward Launching & Funding Their Mission
You care about your cause. You want to help people. But right now...
Paperwork and legal stuff overwhelm you. You don’t know where to start.
The grant process feels impossible, and every step feels risky.
You’re scared you’ll waste time chasing money you’ll never get.
You’re exhausted trying to figure it out alone — Googling, reading, watching endless Youtube.
You watch other nonprofits grow while your idea sits on the shelf.
Maybe you’ve tried applying for grants and got no answers or got rejected.
Why Most Nonprofits Fail Before They Start
Studies show that nearly 50% of new nonprofits close or become inactive within their first 5 years — mostly because they can’t secure steady funding¹.
On top of that, less than 10% of grant applications actually get funded.
That means thousands of good causes NEVER get the resources they need to make a difference. If you’re stuck wondering how to get funded, this challenge is your shortcut out of the confusion.

Meet Your Challenge Host
Blake Nathan
When I launched my first nonprofit, I had no idea what I was doing. No mentor. No guide. Just a lot of trial and error, and let me tell you, I made every mistake in the book.
I made mistakes, big ones. I stepped on every landmine you can think of, rejected filings, wasted money, failed grant applications. There were days I wanted to wave the white flag and walk away.
But I didn’t. I fought through it, figured it out, and came out stronger. Now, I’m here to be the guide I wish I’d had back then.
In this 3-day challenge, I’ll give you the tools, strategies, and confidence to lead your nonprofit. You bring the mission;
I’ll help you EXECUTE it.
Let's GO!
If you want to finally get clarity on what it takes to start your nonprofit and secure funding.
this challenge was built for you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DO I NEED TO ALREADY HAVE A NONPROFIT REGISTERED TO JOIN?
No. This challenge is perfect for aspiring founders who haven’t registered yet. Day 1 is all about helping you understand the correct legal structure, forms, and filings—so you can avoid common (and costly) mistakes. You’ll know exactly what to do to set your nonprofit up the right way.
I’VE ALREADY REGISTERED MY NONPROFIT. WILL I STILL LEARN ANYTHING NEW?
100%. Most nonprofits are set up—but not structured for funding. This challenge shows you how to reposition and realign your nonprofit so that it looks fundable to donors, partners, and grantors. You’ll leave with a tighter strategy, stronger systems, and a funding plan that actually works.
WHAT IF I CAN’T ATTEND THE SESSIONS LIVE?
If you’re a VIP, you’ll get access to all the replays so you can watch, rewatch, and implement at your own pace. General Admission is live only and does not include replay access, so if you know you’ll miss any of the sessions, upgrading to VIP is your best move.
WHAT IF I’M NOT “GOOD” AT FUNDRAISING OR I HATE ASKING FOR MONEY?
That’s exactly why you need this challenge. You’ll learn how to position your nonprofit so that asking for support doesn’t feel like begging—it feels like offering a powerful opportunity to your donors and funders. We don’t do guilt-based fundraising here. We do strategy.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM FREE NONPROFIT WEBINARS ONLINE?
Most webinars give you 1 hour of vague ideas and a pitch at the end. This challenge gives you 3 days of hands-on, structured guidance, with step-by-step assignments and real support. You’re not watching—you’re building. Plus, you’ll have access to tools and templates most people charge thousands for.
WHAT IF I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS DURING THE CHALLENGE?
There’s a live chat and support group throughout the challenge, and if you’re a VIP, you get direct access to Blake during exclusive coaching sessions each day. No question goes unanswered.
Are your ready to launch your funded nonprofit?
Let’s get your nonprofit off the ground. And let’s do it in 3 days—NOT 3 years.
