The Peer Coaching Guide: A Toolkit for Funders helps lean funders build meaningful peer coaching relationships that support professional growth, deeper learning, and stronger philanthropic practice.

Designed for small groups of peers meeting virtually over several sessions, the guide provides step-by-step structure for forming coaching groups, setting agendas, and running productive coaching conversations. It includes session formats, preparation worksheets, reflection prompts, and tools to help participants clarify goals, explore challenges, and turn insights into action.

The toolkit also builds core coaching skills such as deep listening, asking powerful questions, embracing silence, curiosity, and reflective practice—helping funders strengthen both individual effectiveness and peer connections.
