President and Founder David King has 32 years of fundraising experience, 14 years in consulting, and 18 years as staff development head for several nonprofit organizations. His experience and specialization are centered on assisting nonprofit organizations to conduct fundraising campaigns: capital, endowment and annual-giving. Campaigns require (in order to be successful) a pool of ready top prospects, influential volunteer leaders, and a marketing strategy that makes the case for support vital, exciting, and urgent. Above all, they require the RIGHT campaign plan that is developed based on data gained through a detailed planning or feasibility study and a consultant to help guide the campaign at the right pace and to troubleshoot challenges as they arise. David’s career has involved conducting planning studies and designing, setting up, and launching successful campaigns for over 30 organizations with combined goals of $200M+.
