Finding the right fundraising consultant can be challenging. However, that task has become a bit easier with the recent release from The Business of Giving of a list of “America’s Top 40 Most Effective Fundraising Consultants.”
Michael Chatman, host of #WHYiGIVE and one of the most listened-to voices in philanthropy and social innovation with more than 245,000 followers on Twitter, compiled the list by asking 250 leaders of charitable organizations to rank the most effective fundraising consultants.
I’m honored to be included on this year’s list alongside legendary figures in the fundraising profession. While I strive to keep Michael Rosen Says… virtually commercial-free, I’m posting the Top 40 list as a service to my readers.
For information about my services, please visit my business website: mlinnovations.com. If you’re interested in considering me as a speaker for your organization or professional association, I invite you to contact me.
