If you want to be successful in digital fundraising, it’s not enough to understand and be able to implement digital marketing techniques. You have to marry that knowledge and skill with a deep understanding of fundraising.

Tim Kachuriak delivers on both counts.

In this interview Tim describes how he learned the “Theology of Fundraising” that led him to create his firm, Next After, which does the good work of raising more money for nonprofits but also:

  • Trains the next generation of digital fundraisers
  • Pumps out a high volume of high-quality, free resources

And if that wasn’t enough, Tim synthesizes the data and information he gathers and creates, and translates that into actions his clients (and you!) can take to raise more money across channels.

Success Stories

I love your Master Class format – small group, clearly defined curriculum, solid professional information and resources and focus on discussion.  But most importantly I was impressed and delighted to see that you incorporated an additional and extremely practical layer of knowledge, through hands on experience with tools (pivot tables) or resources (Candid).  This adds real value to the educational experience you offer.

Jen’s course on insider stock and compensation was informative, interesting, and well-thought out. Jen broke down the complicated material into digestible pieces. She showed us resources that I use in my day-to-day research that I wouldn’t have otherwise known about. Jen is always quick to respond and has been helpful even after the class has ended. She answers questions thoroughly and is always pleasant.

I was able to take what I learned from the course and present the material to our front-line fundraisers. One fundraiser told me after my presentation that she discovered one of her donor’s compensation was much higher than she thought. So, already, this information has come in handy! Thanks again Jen!

The Capacity Rating Workshop was really useful. I was new to the prospect research field when I took the workshop, so it helped to demystify capacity ratings for me. The online classroom provided a great forum for interaction with the other participants and for a robust exchange of ideas. Beyond that though, Jen shared a wealth of information and resources about capacity ratings and other important aspects of prospect research. I highly recommend this workshop whether you’re new to the field or have years of experience in our profession.
