Jeff Shilling
Founder, Shilling Consulting Group
I’m also a coach at heart; I love working both one-on-one and with groups to teach fundraising principles, techniques, and processes. I’ll partner with you and your team to expand your fundraising effectiveness no matter where you are in your journey. My goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to achieve your vision.
My strength as a fundraising consultant is connecting with people and quickly becoming a trusted advisor. Let’s get the ball rolling!
With three decades of fundraising experience, I’ve seen it all—and I’m ready to adapt industry best practices to your particular situation.
I’ll do a lot of listening in order to understand your issues and the dynamics at play in your organization.
Then I’ll custom-craft a plan to meet the specific needs of your situation—so you can focus on the day-to-day of your role and what you do best.
