"As someone with a background in nonprofit communications, expanding my skills into major donor and corporate stewardship has taken a deliberate and intentional search for resources that offer practical solutions and personal growth opportunities. This Major Gifts Masterclass has it all: detailed and practical advice; concise, insightful, and creative tools; and encouraging tips to try new, subtle approaches. Every lesson added dimensions to my understanding of building meaningful connections and how to mesh the donor experience with meeting the organization's mission. Very grateful to have connected with this masterclass, and highly recommend it."


Your Instructor

Sean M. Kosofsky,

MPA

Hi, I’m Sean, and I'm the Nonprofit Fixer! I’ve worked in nonprofit organizations since I was 16 (over 28 years).


I love nonprofits. I study nonprofits. I also lead and fix nonprofits. Whether it's local, state or national - or charitable or political – I have helped grow and develop organizations of all kinds. I've served as an Executive Director for 5 organizations. I am a coach and consultant for boards, executive directors and activists of all stripes. I’ve worked in communications, victim services, civil rights, environment, policy, bullying prevention, lobbying, management and much more.  


I learned how to run a nonprofit the hard way – by watching someone do it poorly. I’ve also been thrown into the deep end and told to sink or swim. I don’t want that to happen to anyone else, so I have made it a commitment to my business to train people how to effectively fundraise and manage organizations for maximum impact. I’m nationally known and respected, and I’m a really swell guy (just wait, you’ll see!).


Best of all, I cut through the BS. My tools and trainings are straight-to-the-point, immediately useful, and chock-full of tips and tactics you can start using today.


I have raised money for a wide variety of causes, community projects, political campaigns, and much more. I'm a published author of "Fundraising Power Pack". I live in New York with my husband Travis and my adorable dog, Harry!
