PROFESSIONAL AND LAY LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Align your team around a shared true north.
A full-day or half-day workshop experience, built on the Magnetic Mission framework, designed to align your team, reconnect them to your mission, and send them into your campaign with the clarity and energy that makes donors want to say yes.
There's a particular feeling that happens in the weeks before a major campaign. The calendar fills up. The pressure builds. And somewhere underneath all the logistics and the list-building and the ask amounts, the thing that actually makes people give, the story, the why, the genuine belief in what you're doing, starts to get buried.
Donors don't give to organized campaigns. They give to people who believe. And when your team walks into a donor meeting running on empty, distracted, or disconnected from the mission, they feel it. Even when the words are right.
The Mission Recharge is designed for exactly that moment, before the sprint, not after it. An ALTRUICITY facilitator spends the day with your team: your development staff, your leadership, your board members, whoever is going to be in the room with donors this cycle.
The day is built around the Magnetic Mission framework, over two decades of donor-relationship work with Jewish nonprofits, distilled into a room. You'll leave with a shared language, a clear sense of which donors share your True North, and the Shared North alignment that turns a group of individuals into a team moving toward the same destination.It's not a motivational talk.
It's not a training with slides and a workbook you'll never open again. It's a full day of real work, the kind that stays with people.
That is the shift from inspiration to infrastructure."
— Magnetic Mission
What the day covers
The Magnetic Mindset
Moving from chasing to attraction. The desperation trap and how to replace it with confident curiosity — the magnetic center your team brings into every donor conversation.
The Magnetic Conversation
How your team opens, listens, and asks. The permission principle in practice. Moving from presence to partnership — without scripts, without pressure.
The Magnetic Relationship
After the "yes." From supporter to stakeholder. The long game of stewardship, renewal, upgrades, and legacy.
The True North Framework
Building the magnetic machine — the Shared North Framework that turns attraction into a system, and the daily habits that sustain it long after the day ends.
This day is for…
The Mission Recharge is right for you if your team is about to launch a campaign and you want them aligned, not just briefed, before it begins.
It's right for you if you're planning a staff retreat and want the day to actually move the needle on fundraising, not just build morale. It's right for you if your board is about to start making asks and you want them confident, not just willing.
And it's right for you if you've read Magnetic Mission or Date Your Donors and want to bring those frameworks to life inside your organization, not as theory, but as practice your team will use tomorrow.
Every Mission Recharge is customized to the organization, the campaign, and the team in the room. No two days are the same.
Fundraising events that need to inspire donors, energize the room, and connect giving to mission
Board and leadership retreats focused on alignment, confidence, and shared fundraising ownership
Campaign kickoffs and trainings that prepare staff, board members, and volunteers to move with clarity and momentum
Annual professional conferences looking for a high-energy, practical session on modern fundraising culture
Development staff professional days designed to recharge fundraisers, sharpen habits, and strengthen donor engagement
Annual meetings that bring stakeholders together around mission, momentum, and the organization’s True North
What people say
"Our lay leadership had never been in the same room as our development staff for a working session. Jonah managed to bring both groups into the same conversation, same language, same framework, same sense of purpose, without anyone feeling talked down to or left behind. That kind of facilitation is extraordinarily rare."
"What I appreciated most was that Jonah didn't arrive with a generic curriculum. He had clearly done his homework on who we were, what we were struggling with, and where we needed to grow. The retreat felt custom-built for us. People left with real tools they could apply in the very next donor conversation. Not someday. The next day."
"We did a half-day retreat with Jonah before our annual campaign launch. In four hours, he shifted something in our team that months of internal meetings hadn't been able to move. The biggest shift? Our people stopped seeing the ask as something they had to survive and started seeing it as something they genuinely got to offer. That mindset change showed up immediately in our results."
"Our retreat was for a mixed group including major gift officers, program staff, and board members with very different levels of fundraising experience. I was worried the content would land differently for each group. It didn't. Jonah pitched it perfectly so that everyone, from our most seasoned fundraiser to our newest board member, walked away with something they could use immediately."
The framework
behind the day
The Mission Recharge is built on the Magnetic Mission framework, Jonah's new book, and the foundation of how he thinks about modern donor relationships.
It extends the principles he laid out in his earlier book, Date Your Donors, and turns them into a room of real work with your team.
