Fired-Up Fundraising Insiders
I’m Gail Perry, MBA CFRE, creator of Fired-Up Fundraising. I’ve been in the field since 1986, first as a staff fundraiser and then as a consultant guiding nonprofits on new ways to tackle fundraising and get maximum results.
I’ve been where you are: overworked, stretched, demanding fundraising goals hanging over my head; and boards that would not help me. It can be pretty tough!
Since those times, I’ve dedicated myself to helping nonprofit staff, leaders and board members get organized to achieve amazing results – without exhaustion or burnout. I’ve coached and motivated thousands through individual consultations, coaching, board retreats, and through talks, workshops and presentations to nonprofit organizations, both in the United States and internationally. I’ve created Fired-Up Fundraising Insiders Club to help nonprofit leaders focus their energy, keep up with the latest, and turn their fundraising shops into money-making machines.
Who is this for?
Seasoned Fundraising Professionals who need to breathe new life into their fundraising program, boost results and attract new donors.
Beginning Fundraisers who want to quickly ramp up, gain know-how and put ideas into action.
Small shops who need to be effective with the least amount of time invested.
Large, fully staffed shops who need to stay up-to-date with the latest research and strategies.
