What we do

Coaching

Team Training

Turn every member of your organization into a persuasive presenter with a bespoke training for your whole team.

“Over the past ten years, I have been to countless grant writing workshops, talked to a multitude of communications experts, and scoured everything from the appendixes of books to the depths of Reddit to hone my organization’s fundraising message and strategy. Nothing has come close to being as helpful, practical, or useful as the Storie Rhoades Framework. More so than a set of tips, this is a proven framework to hone your message, understand your audience, and deliver for all those counting on you: your team, your organization, your stakeholders.”

Meet the Team

  • Founder

    Josh’s first fundraising experience came when he asked Dr. Pepper to sponsor his singer/songwriter career. It worked, but he hated every minute of it (The asking for money part, being a singer/songwriter was pretty awesome).

    Since then, Josh has been obsessed with finding a way to make fundraising less awkward and more effective.

    After a decade working with both nonprofits and startups, Josh and Anne Marie discovered there’s a way to frame your pitch that does just that. They named it the Raise More, Do More Framework.

    $130M (in funds raised) later, Josh is excited to help nonprofit leaders raise more money so they can get back to doing more good.

  • Founder

    With a mantra that says, “Do what you do best and hire out the rest,” Anne Marie firmly believes there’s no reason to agonize over how to craft a stump speech, start-up pitch, or fundraising appeal when you can bring in the experts.

    Since 2021, Anne Marie has written million-dollar pitches and presentations in the corporate world, completed a Masters of Public Administration at the University of Pennsylvania, and developed the Raise More Do More Framework with Josh.

    Her 10+ years of public, nonprofit and private sector experience give her unique insight into what works in fundraising, what doesn’t, how to fix it, and how to pitch it.
