Sharp analysis for messy nonprofit fundraising problems

The entire game is decided in the gap between gift one and gift two. A nonprofit fundraising expert can help you close that gap.

Paul F Morris, Founder & Principal

Over a 30-year career in nonprofit development, I get it. I’ve been there and I’m with you. I’m ready to offer practical, actionable support that is empathetic — and straightforward. 

My work has resulted in millions of dollars being raised and thousands of donors being engaged for a wide spectrum of not-for-profit organizations. 

I’ve led successful development efforts in direct health services at the state and national levels; regional theatre; architectural preservation; and organizations dedicated to helping youth unlock their own power to break generational cycles of poverty in the Portland area.

I love the nonprofit community and have a deep commitment to giving back. That includes regular speaking and teaching engagements focused on helping small or emerging not-for-profits navigate success.

I truly enjoyed working with Paul Morris.  I appreciated his responsiveness, collaborative approach, and commitment to ACYR’s long-term success. Paul helped us look at fund development holistically—strengthening our strategy, processes, and project management while helping us build the infrastructure needed for sustainable fundraising success. His ability to help us articulate a compelling case for support made his work especially valuable to ACYR.
