Virtual Classes - NEW!

"Exceptionally helpful - most in-depth conversation I have ever had on planned giving."

Allison, Fundraising Consultant, Aspen Historical Society

"It was definitely worth our time. I appreciated how you helped demystify this kind of giving. The idea that nonprofits sometimes train donors to give too small by only talking about cash made me realize we should probably expand the “ways to give” section on our website to include things like stock gifts, DAFs, and QCDs."

Vida, Chair of Board, Roaring Fork Kayak Club

Testimonials

"Our consultation with Courtney Johnson was deeply insightful and incredibly helpful for our budding non-profit! She provided our board with a clear roadmap for effective board governance and helped guide us in setting up standard committees to delineate our many responsibilities as a board, so we can divide and conquer all the many duties we have taken on as a non-profit. She led us in exercises to identify our priorities for each committee and provided us with a structure to foster seamless communication. This first consultation with her has been instrumental in shaping our organization's foundation for future success. I look forward to tapping into the wealth of knowledge and experience of CPJ Advisors in the future to build on what we have already learned."

Vida Dillard, Roaring Fork Kayak Club Board President

"We can't wait to apply everything we've learned while working with Courtney to our organization. We started our fundraising journey excited but overwhelmed with the work ahead, and Courtney has done a great job laying out all the necessary steps and eliminating the guesswork. She is a great resource that see's the bigger picture when it comes to supporting non-profits."

Mahyn Mata, Early Learning Center of Aspen Director of Development

"Courtney is a professional who brings an array of skills to the table, and unpacks her toolkit to best serve her clients. She helped me become a better leader to build my board in the areas of fundraising and governance. Thank you!"

A little more fun.

When not helping you and many others make the world a better place, I'm enjoying my incredible life in Colorado with the love of my life, our friends, and if we are lucky, our daughters when they visit.

Downhill and uphill skiing, hiking, camping, river floating and baking bread are all part of my growing repertoire for fun.

I once heard someone say that experiencing the state of "awe" is good for mental health. If that is the case, then I am regularly getting my therapy by working with inspiring clients who make the world a better place, and through my own adventures, here in our beautiful home.

I'll be in touch, soon!

-Your biggest advocate,

Courtney
