A Matt George & Glassroot Partners Program
Fund executive coaching for the nonprofit leaders you fund
Live, small-group coaching led by Matt George (Executive Leadership Coach at Harvard Business School; former 30-year CEO of a 500+ person nonprofit). Leaders get operator-grade help on leadership, board alignment, finance, fundraising, and execution—applied in real time.
- Live sessions only (no recordings)
- Fund individual seats or a private cohort of 8+
- Flexible term length to fit your budgeting
- Invoicing for foundations, CSR teams, or government
In plain terms, we help you lead well, tell a clear story, raise the right money, and run the plan.
Note: Leaders can self-enroll. No funder/sponsor required.
What it is
Live executive coaching that adapts methods used with global business leaders to nonprofit realities, 100% virtual, candid, and designed to implement immediately.
Two ways to fund participation:
Fund Seats
Underwrite any number of individual seats; mix organizations as needed.
Private Cohort
Fund 8+ seats for a private, org-only room.
Potential Budget Fit: Capacity building, leadership development/HR, program support (where allowed), CSR/Community Investment. We invoice the funder/sponsor; leaders enroll and start right away.
Why this exists
The problem
The opportunity
Bring the same methodologies and decision frameworks Matt uses as a Leadership Coach into the nonprofit context. Real cases. Real decisions. Not academic theory.
Our solution
You fund seats in one integrated program: (1) live group coaching, (2) a monthly Strategy Clinic for leader-specific questions, and (3) a small Accountability Cohort to drive execution. No limits, everyone gets the full model. Group format keeps costs reasonable without sacrificing quality, with the option to form a private org-only cohort (8+ leaders) when needed.
What this solves fast
- Decisions stop looping; priorities hold.
- Board and leadership align on the story.
- Cash visibility improves; reserves and controls mature.
- Fundraising advances with a clear ask and simple follow-through.
- Meetings get shorter; ownership and cadence stick.
Two ways to fund seats
Fund individual seats (flexible)
Underwrite any number of individual seats in the full Impact Boardroom program. Leaders join:
- Live Group Coaching (2×/month)
- Monthly Strategy Clinic (bring your specific questions)
- Small Accountability Cohort (monthly execution cadence)
Private cohort (org-only room)
Fund 8+ seats to form a private cohort for one organization (or closed chapter group). Your org receives a closed-off monthly accountability call.
Optional add-ons: a 30-minute private strategy clinic each month that only your members can join, and a quarterly funder/sponsor sync followed by a tailored teaching session.
The model: Learn → Plan → Execute
Learn with Matt George’s live coaching
Get clear fast through concise teaching, real frameworks, and Q&A drawn from Matt’s 30+ years as a nonprofit CEO and HBS coach. Reset priorities, lead your team, align your board, and fundraise with integrity.
Plan in the Strategy Clinic
Bring live questions and in-progress work. Turn goals into a short, workable plan you author and Matt reviews—pressure-testing priorities, decision rules, and a few measures that matter.
Execute with cohort accountability
Keep momentum in a small, confidential group. Each session sets concrete actions, addresses roadblocks, and adjusts the plan in real time so progress sticks.
One simple membership
You get everything; No tiers to choose from.
Matt teaches the same tools and decision frameworks he uses with Fortune-level executives, adapted to nonprofit realities. The format blends small-group accountability with broader coaching and live strategy work so leaders get both depth and scale.
