I Made the Top 5 Rising Star Fundraising Speakers!

I recently had the honor of being named to a Top 5 Rising Star Fundraising Speakers list. I’m genuinely grateful for the recognition, but more than that, I think it’s worth sharing why something like this actually matters for the organizations I serve.

Fundraising events are too important to leave to chance. When a speaker or entertainer is trusted, recommended, and gaining momentum nationally, it usually means one thing. Their work is producing real results. Donors are engaged. Directors feel supported. And organizations are seeing generosity increase, not just applause.

What I’ve learned after years of working with pregnancy centers, foster care ministries, and Christian nonprofits is this. The most effective fundraising speakers do not just make people laugh or feel inspired. They help create a moment where generosity feels joyful, safe, and meaningful. That is the space I aim to serve every time I step on stage. Clean comedy. Clear purpose. And a financial ask that feels like an invitation, not pressure.

Being recognized as a rising voice in fundraising tells me that message is resonating. It also tells me more organizations are realizing that who you put on stage directly affects how much you raise and how donors feel about coming back next year.

If you are planning a banquet, gala, or fundraising event and want someone who understands your mission, respects your donors, and knows how to help generosity flow naturally, I would love to serve you. Recognition is nice, but results are better. And that is always the goal.
