A Structured Community For Nonprofit Founders Building Real, Fundable Organizations.

Slide 1 of 5

We were unsure as to raising money in these modern times for our nonprofit organization focused on preventing veteran suicide through canine companionship. Rooney, The Founder of Nonprofit Founders Association, gave us valuable fundraising insight and helped us create a simple and organized fundraising plan I and my team can follow to raise money for our mission. Many Blessings, we appreciate you.

- Linda Floyd, Battle Buddies of Central Oregon

Rooney, The Founder of Nonprofit Founder's Association, really knows his stuff. He has helped my board rethink how we fundraise and even changed how we value ourselves and our services. He provides quick and well-thought-out fundraising plans that are easy to follow, giving us the tools and confidence to implement. Highly recommend!

- Laura Anthony from Zero Waste San Diego

I was running on fumes, trying to fundraise, manage a full-time job, and build a board all by myself. Rooney's system changed everything. Not only did we successfully recruit our new board, but we now have volunteers focused on specific areas, from social media to direct fundraising. I now spend less time weekly managing the structure, and the mission finally has momentum. I stopped drowning and started leading. This is the game-changer I always wanted.

— Tony Barnes, Founder, Another Blessed Ministry

Rooney is very knowledgeable on nonprofit fundraising and board training strategies and systems. He is always willing to share helpful information and point you in the right direction.
