About the Fundraising Authority

I started the Fundraising Authority to offer the absolute best information available on how to raise money for schools, churches, and other non-profit organizations and charities.

In looking for good fundraising information online, I noticed that the vast majority of fundraising sites were either hopelessly unprofessional or outdated, or were sales sites designed with very little information.  That’s why I started the Fundraising Authority — to offer professional tools and information to charitable organizations of all sizes.

I know how hard it can be to raise money — I also know how important it is to have access to great information on fundraising techniques, ideas, and strategies.  The Fundraising Authority is, hands down, the web’s best source of fundraising information for non-profit organizations.

About Me

My name is Joe Garecht, and I have been involved in professional fundraising for over a decade.  During that time, I have worked with both non-profit organizations and political campaigns, helping them design profitable fundraising plans, implement new fundraising strategies, and super-charge their development efforts.  I am also the author of The Silent Auction Handbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Holding a Successful Silent Auction.

I’ve been privileged to work with some fantastic organizations and campaigns, raising four, five, and six-figure gifts, holding major fundraising events, managing direct mail campaigns, and building successful major donor groups.  I am proud to be able to offer your non-profit the professional fundraising information I learned the hard way…
