A fundraising coach in your pocket

Your AI-powered philanthropy coach, ready whenever you are.

Built by V. Tanya Johnson, a seasoned fundraising strategist, Beacon gives you just-in-time coaching to help you prioritize relationships, prepare for donor conversations, refine your messaging, and close gifts with confidence.

The fundraising landscape is more demanding than ever

Portfolios are bigger. Expectations are higher. Coaching support is limited. Too often, fundraisers are making high-stakes decisions alone.

Beacon helps you move from “What do I do next?” to a clear plan you can act on today.

What Beacon can help you with

Portfolio Strategy Coach


  • Managing a large portfolio means constant decisions about where to spend your energy. The Portfolio Strategy Coach helps you cut through the noise, identify your highest-priority relationships, and build a clear plan for the quarter. Bring your portfolio, your questions, and your constraints. Leave with a path forward.

Ask Practice Room


  • The moment before a solicitation is where confidence either holds or breaks. The Ask Practice Room gives you a space to work through your language, anticipate donor responses, and refine your approach before the real conversation happens. No stakes, no judgment, just preparation that actually helps.

Communication Studio


  • Whether you are writing a proposal, a stewardship update, or a follow-up after a difficult meeting, the Communication Studio helps you find the right words. It supports your voice, not replaces it. You stay in control of the final message.

Legacy Planning Essentials


  • Planned giving conversations require a different kind of readiness. This module helps you approach legacy discussions with the right framing, language, and sensitivity, so you can open the door without overstepping it.

Fundraising Fundamentals


  • Built for fundraisers at every stage, this module is the resource you reach for when you need grounding on best practices, strategy questions, or situations you have not navigated before. Think of it as a knowledgeable colleague who has seen it all and is always available.
