Coach Serving Nonprofits as Certified Fund Raising Executive (CRFE)

Leadership Experience

Chany Ockert, CFRE, assists nonprofits transition their vision into reality through fund development coaching, consulting, and training.

She specializes in adapting the fundraising best practices and lessons across various sub-sectors of nonprofits. As a consequence of working nationally and in Montana with missions ranging from human services to conservation to arts and culture to animals, she brings the best fund development ideas from each sub-sector to each client.

She combines this deep fundraising expertise to create engaging and actionable presentations that allow the attendees to “always walk away richer because of her shared information.” She has presented for all sizes of nonprofits from all-volunteer organizations to NonprofitPRO and Meta's Social Impact Partnerships and to audiences with upwards of 5,000 attendees.

In September 2016 she was awarded the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation based on demonstrated, measurable success in fundraising. In October 2019, she obtained the Certificate of Nonprofit Board Consulting from BoardSource, the recognized leader in nonprofit Board leadership. In March 2023, she was certified as a Quadrant 3 Leadership Coach.

She hosts the weekly 5-minute podcast, Reflections on Generosity, available in all major podcast apps.

She serves as a CASA volunteer and a member of the Bigfork Land Use Advisory Committee in Montana.

How I want to participate in PowerHouse

By nature, I am a connector. Please contact me if I can assist you in connecting with the nonprofit sector or if the nonprofit you serve is in need of fund development consulting services.
