My Story
Shalita “The Nonprofitista” O’Neale is a highly trusted and nationally recognized professional both inside and outside of nonprofit circles. She launched her first nonprofit organization when she was just 25 years old and raised over 2 million dollars for its work in under 8 years. Shalita decided to become a Nonprofit Development Coach as a way to use her 13 years of experience in launching, building and sustaining non-profit organizations and non-profit programs to help other Non-profit Visionaries do the same. Shalita has spoken nationally and internationally at numerous seminars, conferences and workshops and takes every opportunity to emphasize the importance of community collaborations and partnerships. Shalita does not believe in reinventing the wheel, instead, she understands that community organizations and non-profits must learn from and support each other to improve outcomes for the under-resourced populations they serve.

WORKSHOPS
CREATING A FUNDRAISING TRIBE
If you do not have a strong Board of Directors, you’ll end up carrying all the weight of the organization on your shoulders and will find yourself bitter and resentful. It’s important that you engage and recruit the right people who will become a tribe working alongside of you to move the organization’s mission forward. This will allow you to focus on the mission of the organization instead of the governance. This workshop will guide you on how to turn your Board of directors into Giving and Active Worker Bees.
NETWORK MARKETING FOR NONPROFITS
Network marketing works. Companies such as Mary Kay, Traci Lynn Jewelry, ACN and Herbalife are extremely successful and are credible and legitimate Multi Level Marketing (MLM) structures. This workshop will show you how to use your networks and that of your Board Members to gain Ambassadors for your organization that will help you raise millions.
