Co-founder @The Better Fundraising Company

Seattle, WA, US

The Better Fundraising Company is a joint venture with my good friend and fellow fundraiser Steven Screen. Every nonprofit wants to have \"relationships\" with their donors - but in their communications the nonprofit talks only about itself. What kind of relationship is that? At Better Fundraising we know that the best fundraising happens in an actual relationship with your donors where you Ask them to help your beneficiaries, Thank them for their generosity, Report back to them the impact of their gifts, and then Repeat the cycle - building trust and increasing revenue over time.No jibber-jabber; just clear advice, best-practices and measurable tactics.My ongoing fundraising work typically leads to building long-term relationships with my clients and allows me to serve them in the areas of leadership development, strategic thinking, and mission-driven growth projects.
