Course Description

This 6-session Catholic Not for Profit Leadership Course is for leaders who feel stuck

  • fundraising is flat
  • meetings are exhausting
  • board dynamics are tense
  • staff issues keep resurfacing
  • there is never enough time to fix it all.

In a small, confidential group of up to six peers, you’ll bring your real problems—failing campaigns, conflict, overload, and leadership fatigue—into a structured, prayerful forum where they actually get worked on. Each live session, supported by focused video lessons and downloads, gives you concrete, Catholic, real-world tools you can apply immediately with your board, staff, volunteers, and donors so you can stop putting out fires and start leading with clarity and confidence.


Your instructor is Henry Kutarna, a highly sought-after Catholic leadership advisor who helps nonprofit executives and board members turn mission into measurable impact while remaining faithful to the Church. Drawing on decades of senior government leadership, business experience, and service on nonprofit and parish boards, he brings a rare blend of strategic insight, practical know-how, and deeply lived Catholic faith to every room he enters.

Formed in the Catholic intellectual tradition and active in Catholic life and philanthropy, Henry understands the unique realities facing Catholic ministries: limited resources, complex stakeholders, and the call to serve Christ in the poor and vulnerable. His sessions are energetic, candid, and highly actionable, equipping Catholic leaders and boards with concrete tools to strengthen governance, improve stewardship and fundraising, and lead their organizations with clarity, courage, and fidelity to their mission.

Course Outline

Fundraising

Learn how to break out of stagnant, copy‑paste fundraising and design bolder, more effective strategies that actually attract new donors and rejuvenate existing ones. You’ll walk away with practical, immediately usable ideas to expand your funnel, sharpen your messaging, and professionalize your fundraising efforts.

Death by Meeting

Turn long, frustrating, unproductive meetings into focused, efficient, and action‑oriented sessions that people are actually glad to attend. You’ll get simple structures and techniques to control the agenda, engage every voice, and ensure clear decisions, accountability, and follow‑through.

Are People the Problem?

Move from endless people problems and tension to a clearer, stronger structure for staff, volunteers, and board members. You’ll learn how to set expectations, measure performance, and address issues with Catholic clarity and charity—without lowering the bar.

Conflict Resolution

Stop avoiding or enduring conflict and start dealing with it in a calm, structured, and spiritually grounded way. This module gives you tools and language to distinguish normal friction from real conflict, and to resolve issues with staff, boards, donors, and stakeholders before they become crises.

Time Management

If everything feels urgent and nothing truly important gets done, this session will help you regain control of your calendar and your peace of mind. You’ll learn practical methods to prioritize, schedule, and structure your work so you can focus on what really moves the mission forward.
