Meet the Team
Alex Morrison
Founder
In the over 20 years that I’ve worked with nonprofits, I’ve seen it all: so many inspiring and impactful campaigns, amazing fundraising wins, and also immense challenges. Now as an independent consultant, my desire is to share what I’ve learned with organizations aligned with my own vision for the world: a thriving, just, and regenerative future.
I’ve had thousands of conversations with donors in my career, bringing in gifts from $500 to $500,000. So many people find it awkward or anxiety-inducing to ask for money, but for me it’s exciting to meet with a donor, to find what makes them come alive, and to align that passion with the work of an organization. Now I work mostly with nonprofit leaders, supporting them to find their own excitement and passion in the art and science of fundraising.

I am passionate about working with individuals and groups to find ways forward that bring out the best in everyone and generate results. My particular expertise is in building bridges between people with different perspectives and working styles to work together for a common shared vision.
With 10 years of experience in the nonprofit sector doing everything from marketing to fundraising to strategic planning, I have navigated many different types of inter-team dynamics and find immense joy in working with teams and organizations to find their way through challenges and harmonize.
Beyond the core team, we work with seasoned fundraisers, coaches, grant writers, corporate sponsorship specialists, designers, and more to ensure you have the expertise and support you need to thrive.
