Justin Wheeler's face smiles out from a small circle headshot in the middle of the right hand side of the image. Around him are light gray block outlines and various blue shapes. Front and center is a big blue box containing the text "CEO Insights".
Justin is Funraise's CEO, a co-founder, and a bad-ass, experienced nonprofit fundraiser. Like a true fundraiser-turned-founder, he breaks down the concepts behind Funraise's mission everywhere he can make nonprofits' voices heard.

I repeat: It's not just putting up content and asking people to donate.

It may not be simple, but it's pretty game-changing when you do it right.
