About Mark Warner

Fundraising should be fun! That may shock a lot of my colleagues in the non-profit sector but I strongly believe it. When it's a chore that's the time to re-evaluate how your organization thinks about fundraising and how you make it happen. Here are a few questions to ask yourself: • Is fundraising thought of in terms of just about the dollars? • Are the goals of the donor front and center? • Do you consider fundraising an act of building a relationship? • Is philanthropy considered a way to celebrate the organization, its mission and programs? No worries if you said no - we've all been there at one time. MDW Consulting helps you change that for the board and staff through a variety of programs. We take a critical look at your organization's specific fundraising challenges and develop recommendations that will turn those answers into Yes. Even after the recommendations, we're here to help implement and keep your fundraising program on track. We're your partner in this journey.
