About Matthew Boyer

Throughout my career in progressive nonprofit leadership roles at a wide range of organizations, I have worked hand-in-hand with CEOs and Boards of Directors to navigate associations and foundations through long-term strategic planning, development, marketing, and fundraising initiatives.From proposal writing to pitch presentation and everything in between, I orchestrate fundraising and marketing programs that attract, engage, and influence target audiences. I love the creative process. Conceptualizing campaigns, crafting fundraising pieces, drafting direct mail solicitations and major gift proposals, and creating consistent messaging totally energizes me. My expertise includes: Relationship Building | Strategic Planning | Corporate Development | Board Development | Business Strategy | Donor Stewardship | Cross-functional Leadership | Revenue Growth | Market Expansion | Grant & Proposal Writing | Planned GivingI am strong leader and a true collaborator. I build rapport, trust, and lifelong relationships with all stakeholders – navigating prospects and donors through the labyrinth of worthy giving opportunities; recruiting board members and engaging them in philanthropy; partnering with CEOs to set strategic direction and lead organizations to sustainable growth; identifying, hiring, and mentoring diverse talent worldwide. As a relationship-driven executive, I:• Penetrated the Southeast Asia business market and won 5-figure grants and 6-figure prospects at Mongabay.• Implemented a comprehensive business development plan that won back more than 30% of The Arc’s lapsed donors.• Launched $250M Centennial Capital Campaign at National Parks Conservation Association.
