Manfield Fundraising Counsel, LLC provides customized services designed to meet your organization’s unique circumstances.
Unlike many others, we do not simply conduct a feasibility study and then tell you we are too busy to do the hard work of helping you to actually raise the funds.
Nor do we have senior staff “sell” you on our firm and then send an inexperienced person to work with you. Our associates are certified fundraising executives with many years successful experience. They not only raise funds but they have run nonprofits themselves. They’ve been “down in the trenches” of nonprofit management and understand your needs.
Some of the top people in the field who have worked as associates:
William B. Bowen, CFRE
J. André Brooks, CFRE
Shannon L. Bucklew, CFRE
Rose M. Garrison, CFRE
Jesse E. Kent, CFRE
David Prestipino, CFRE at Heritage Associates
Everett M. Werness, CFRE
Carl Manfield has taught hundreds of classes for other fundraising professionals through the years.
