Peer Coaching
Today's nonprofit leaders face monumental decisions on a regular basis. The outcome of each decision has a huge impact on each individual organization - and the entire sector. In order to advance a powerful nonprofit sector, Alliance FOR Nonprofits Washington seeks to strengthen each leader and support every decision.
Peer Coaching circles are highly focused groups of peers who meet regularly to assist each other with:
- Highlight Alternative Solutions
These moderated groups are composed of six to eight members with varying levels of expertise and experience to contribute to the success of your organization. Every member of the Peer Coaching Circle commits to active participation through eight monthly meetings.

Here's a first-hand account...
“My experience with the Peer Coaching Program has been very important to my job. As a CFO of a nonprofit organization, I value the opportunity to engage my peers on relevant topics that only professionals in the finance field can relate too. The level of knowledge and information sharing has been critical to advancing new ideas, problem solving and building a network of support. Most importantly, everything that is covered in Peer Coaching,
I have been able to apply in day-to-day circumstances. The Peer Coaching Program is an invaluable and relevant resource.”
