My work and passion is providing alternative, recurring fundraising solutions for nonprofits. The business model for nonprofits is changing along with the changes in generational thinking, tax laws, digital donations, social media, and the move away from using cash. It’s critical that your nonprofit have knowledge of emerging online fundraising trends in order to prepare for the future. I provide solutions that enable nonprofits to expand their donor base while increasing retention and engagement. To contact me: mark(at)70x7.org. 70x7.org is a faith-based nonprofit helping people hanging on to pain, shame and blame from a past hurt to help them on their path to forgiveness so they can be fully alive without the chains of anger and resentment.
