Putting People First in Philanthropy
Philanthropy is about a love of humans.
That means so much more than just raising money.
The Donor is often rendered as a faceless, generic person. But donors are real people. Some love dogs, some like fajitas, and all have embarrassing stories. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they forget to call their mom. Every donor is a human being with unique passions and opinions.
As a nationally-recognized expert on local fundraising, Eric knows how to switch your attention from thinking about the Big-D Donor to the little-d donor.
The best fundraising comes with the fewest surprises.
Smaller organizations can keep up with the big dogs by using data to their advantage and knowing what to focus on. As Co-Founder of the Des Moines Fundraising Institute, Eric has trained hundreds of fundraising professionals and development teams on best practices.
Cover your bases and boost your confidence by working with a seasoned professional.

“I am always looking for the next creative or wild idea. I love to hear one person's dream over a cup of coffee and then think, ‘OK, what's the next step to make it happen?’”
