What others say about Andrew
Andrew was the perfect choice to present the keynote address at AFP Sierra Chapter’s Spring Training Conference. He is dynamic, funny and engaging, but most importantly, knowledgeable about the inner most workings of the nonprofit sector. Attendees left feeling inspired with some practical tips and tricks they could take back to their organizations and implement immediately.

Andrew demystifies advanced concepts, bringing fundraising theory down to earth for nonprofit professionals of all experience levels. He is an outstanding speaker, but an even better teacher. Andrew joined our faculty with lofty recommendations and he has surpassed the hype. His classroom instruction is practical, relatable, and includes current research that helps our students dream big with new skills and swagger.

Andrew’s sage advice and cautionary tales around fundraising and nonprofit management were just the shot in the arm we needed at our AFP Sierra Chapter Spring Training. We went away with real-world examples and tangible tips to add to our fundraising tool boxes.

Andrew was far and away the best presenter! This session was the most helpful of all the classes so far – practical, detailed, structured material, plus specific, direct, helpful examples.

I engaged Andrew to help us analyze our organization’s annual fund and make recommendations for developing a more successful program. The results of his study clearly showed us where we had gone astray. With his guidance we were able to get the program back on track and that year not only did we increase our revenue, but we increased donor retention and acquired more new donors than in the 3 previous years combined.
Mary Butler
Director of Individual Giving, Fairview Foundation
Thank you for the conversation we had early in the spring. We were talking about doubling down on our media spend on Giving Tuesday and you framed it as, “someone is going to do it, what would it be like if ACFB owned Giving Tuesday in Atlanta?” I don’t know if we can claim “ownership” (yet), but we doubled our results from last year (100% YOY increase). Thanks for the idea and encouragement!
