Led by Julie Masson,
CCO for Nonprofits

I’ve spent the last 15+ years helping nonprofit teams stop reacting and start communicating on purpose. As a fractional Chief Communications Officer, I work alongside executive leaders to build practical strategies, streamline communication efforts, and make sure their message actually reaches the right people.

I created this cohort because I know how frustrating it is to feel like you’re doing everything, and still not getting traction. My goal is to help you lead your comms with strategy, not stress, and walk away with tools you’ll actually use.

If you’re going to invest in a comms cohort, you want to know you’re learning from someone who’s been there. I’ve led communications for the policy arm of the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., managed high-stakes crises involving national media and Supreme Court cases, and stepped into interim leadership during a major executive transition. I’ve also led a full rebrand and large-scale website project, overseen marketing campaigns that sold out events, and helped teams build trust and capacity during seasons of change.

This isn’t just theory. It’s the kind of experience that comes from years of navigating real nonprofit pressure, politics, and priorities. I’ll help you take what works at the highest levels and adapt it to your context, so you can set strategy, get leadership buy-in, and finally build a comms strategy that works. As part of the cohort experience, I’ll personally review your final messaging calendar and provide tailored input to ensure it’s practical and effective

You’re Not Just Learning Theory.

You’re Learning from the Trenches.

Get Access to Me and a Group of Peers

Participants who enroll in the full cohort experience get access to a private Slack channel, where you can connect with me between sessions and get real-time support from a group of peers who are navigating similar challenges. It's a space for quick questions, shared wins, and ongoing encouragement throughout the 8 weeks.

why join the nonprofit comms cohort loom thumbnail FINAL.png

For $1,250, you’ll get 8 weeks of expert coaching, real-time feedback, and a built-in network of peers who actually get what you do. You’ll walk away with a clear plan, stronger messaging, smarter systems, and the confidence to lead comms instead of just reacting to it.

If you’re looking for a lower-cost way to join, the $750 sessions-only option includes all 8 live training sessions plus every template and resource we use together, but doesn’t include Slack access, ongoing support between sessions, or a personalized messaging calendar review. Interested in a remote experience? Fill out the application form and indicate that option.

To put that in perspective: a typical 2–3 day conference can easily run you $2,500+ once you factor in registration, flights, hotel, and food. And all you leave with is a tote bag and a few notes you probably won’t revisit.

This isn’t just another webinar or course. It’s strategic, actionable, and designed to create momentum right away.
