WORK HISTORY
Executive Director @Caring House - California
Torrance, CA, US
Caring House is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, based in Torrance, CA. We provide a residence for hospice/end of life care for persons regardless of age, gender, race, religion, unhoused status, sexual orientation or immigration status.I lead the employee team of 15, managers and staff, and work with the board of directors on daily operations, financials and budgets, community services planning, long-term growth strategy, stewarding/networking, and revenue development.I also work to introduce and educate the community, corporations and foundations to the mission of Caring House, which utilizes a pay-what-you-can afford model. Grants and individual financial support provides relief for residents who can\'t afford to pay.Wins: Landed a grant to pay off our from a local from three different private foundations;$60K yearly from a single fundraising event; introduced a new fundraising event held at Torrance Japanese Pine Wind Garden that was a huge success.Professionally and personally, my goal is to bring end-of-life hospice resources and our own services to underserved and underrepresented communities. Historically, these communities have been lacking in access to this type of care or even simply denied them in favor of treatments or facilities that may not align with their wishes, needs or cultural values.I would welcome the opportunity to chat about what we do and how we can together bring about meaningful social change as well as in-person relief to families with a loved one at the end-of-life stage.

ABOUT DAVID ZARTMAN
In 2005, I founded Toyota Owner Media and expanded it globally, signing scores of advertising clients, sponsorships, and creating IRL experiential events. I built growth by catering to a highly targeted audience, delivering exciting content and helping brands, sponsors, collaborators and advertisers tap into this community organically. I helped Toyota strengthen their relationship with owners, and we led the way in huge social media content and growth.I\'m also a proven expert in internal communications that create insightful impact with stakeholders; I\'ve produced podcasts, designed company training initiatives and C-suite thought leadership programs, and much more.My secret sauce for success is the execution factor. I’ve always been an ideas person, but what sets dreams apart from success is action, and that is where my strength and passion resides. I have formed high-functioning teams by creating emotionally safe spaces for members to do their best work. I enjoy and am exceptionally adept at written and verbal communication, listening, and interpersonal interaction, and that in turn drives me to continually learn from leaders and experts. I speak excellent Spanish, having lived in both Mexico and Spain.I\'ve written and edited over pages of content, filmed dozens of videos, forged strategic relationships and been a trusted storyteller for some of the largest brands on the planet.

In 2025 I completed the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders.I am currently working at building non-profit organizations to better serve historically underserved and underrepresented communities. It\'s an area I\'m passionate about, and one I\'m dedicated to improving.In 2023, after two years of market and user research, numerous UX and UI consultations, revenue model plans, mentor advice, and a thousand other things, my partner William Blase and I launched Altius, a startup I founded, based on a unique combination of machine learning, social media and retail investing. It has been entirely self-funded and a fantastic learning experience, and we are just getting started. Contact me for a link to download from TestFlight.Let\'s chat about working together!Dave
