Chief Advice Dispenser

David is a creative innovator with a personal commitment to generating funds for charities across Canada through developing and nurturing great donor experiences.

A consultant with deep experience in direct marketing strategy and bequest marketing programs, David is passionate about increasing access to professional and practical advice for all charities. This led him to operate his very own Fundraising Pharmacy where he is focusing on creating healthy donor relationships for organizations of all sizes.

Before launching Fundraising Pharmacy, David was the Senior Philanthropic Counsel at Good Works where he developed and delivered both strategy and creative for clients including Canadian Red Cross, the UN Refugee Agency-UNHCR and the Canadian Cancer Society.

He spent over 5 years in the University of Alberta’s Annual Giving Office where he increased revenues to more than $6 million per year and led efforts to generate gifts from close to 90,000 donors.

Earlier, David cut his fundraising teeth at the MS Society of Canada where he developed a passion for carefully executed and highly profitable special events.

Before joining the professional fundraising world, David honed his marketing, media and public relations instincts as the proprietor of Manifesto: a culture counter, an art gallery/event space/café.

David has been actively involved with professional organizations throughout his career including AFP, CASE and CCAE.  He regularly presents at fundraising conferences, workshops and seminars across Canada and internationally. As a volunteer, he has served on non-profit boards focused on the arts and community.
