Let’s design something together.
Training works best when it connects directly to your people’s work and puts theory into practice. We’d love to learn about your organization’s real challenges and specific learning goals to explore how we can support your people’s growth.
FAQs

We design multi-session cohort experiences and communities of practice specifically for organizations that want ongoing capacity building. These learning journeys combine instruction with peer connections, homework assignments, and group problem-solving that extends well beyond a single session. We can also provide follow-up check-ins and advisory support to help your team implement what they’ve learned. We’re currently working with community foundations on various learning initiatives, from webinar series to cohort programs, and we’re deeply committed to helping philanthropy think beyond funding to capacity-building support.

We develop custom proposals based on your specific needs, format preferences, and scope. Our pricing is transparent and considers factors like content development requirements, number of facilitators, and delivery format.

Existing Content: If we’re presenting from our established training library, you pay for delivery time plus any travel expenses.

Custom Content: When we develop new materials specifically for your audience, there’s an additional development fee that varies based on the complexity and length of the content.

Multiple Format Options: From webinars to full-day intensives and multi-session cohort experiences, we work within different budget ranges.

With 20 years of experience serving hundreds of organizations, Fio has worked with all sectors and sizes. Two common partnership types include:

Nonprofit Organizations Developing Their Teams

Executive directors, HR leaders, and board chairs bring us in to work directly with their leadership teams and boards. Whether you need board training, mid-manager skill development, or strategic planning facilitation, we design experiences that meet your team where they are.

Foundations Supporting Their Grantees

Community foundations, family foundations, and corporate giving programs partner with us to build capacity across their grantee networks. We help you design everything from single webinars to year-long cohort experiences that strengthen the organizations you fund.

We’re deeply committed to helping philanthropy think beyond funding to capacity-building support.

We customize every training experience based on your specific challenges and participant needs. Before any session, we spend time understanding your organization’s context, the issues your people are wrestling with, and the outcomes you’re hoping to achieve. We also regularly update our content library based on emerging trends and feedback from recent engagements.

Absolutely. We can design our training to complement and enhance what you’re already doing. If you have ongoing professional development programs, annual retreats, or leadership cohorts, we can create content that builds on those foundations. We can also provide train-the-trainer support if you want to deliver certain content internally going forward.

Every participant receives resources they can reference long after the session ends, including frameworks and tools. For longer engagements or cohort experiences, we often include follow-up check-ins to help participants apply their learning. We can also discuss ongoing advisory support if your team wants continued guidance as they implement new approaches.

We offer both virtual and in-person delivery formats to meet your needs and budget. Our virtual webinars and nonprofit workshops are just as interactive and engaging as our in-person sessions. Many organizations prefer virtual options for broader participation across different locations, while others value the focused energy of in-person experiences. We can also design hybrid approaches that combine both formats throughout a learning series.
