About Us

Your non-profit’s mission matters. You have a big vision and want to do great things. But to accomplish those goals, you need to raise more money. The team at Garecht Fundraising Associates is here to help your organization raise the money you need to thrive.

You Need a Fundraising Partner You Can Count On

Far too many consultants exist solely to analyze your fundraising, give you some advice, and move on to the next client… leaving you alone to implement the plans they recommended. Garecht Fundraising Associates is different. We partner with our clients to provide the hands-on help they need.

We’ll develop a strategy that will help you exceed your fundraising goals, and then work alongside you to put those plans into practice. Here are a few of the reasons we’ve been so successful:

Data-Driven Strategies

Stop guessing about your fundraising. We utilize your non-profit’s real-world data and dozens of development benchmarks to implement strategies based on science, not guesswork.

Immediate Fundraising Impact

You need to raise more money now, without sacrificing future success. We build high-performance fundraising systems that will work now and in the years to come.

Hands-On Fundraising Help

You don’t have to do it alone. We partner with your organization and provide the hands-on help you need. We have the experience and know-how to help you achieve your fundraising goals.

About Joe Garecht

Joe Garecht is the founder of Garecht Fundraising Associates and has 25 years of experience leading non-profits and helping them raise more money.  His specialty is helping organizations systemize their fundraising to dramatically increase the amount of money they raise.

About Joe Garecht, founder of Garecht Fundraising Associates

Joe is a world-recognized fundraising consultant, author and speaker… and has helped countless non-profits escape the donor treadmill by finding new donors, making more asks, and building fundraising strategies that get results.

His approach is simple — in order to be successful, your non-profit needs to build a systemized and scalable strategy, and then implement that strategy consistently. The fundraising strategies Joe creates are tailored to each non-profit, and based on data-driven best practices and state-of-the-art fundraising tactics.

The Experience Your Non-Profit Needs

Prior to launching Garecht Fundraising Associates, Joe was the founder of The Fundraising Authority, which at the time was the world’s largest provider of online fundraising training for non-profit organizations. Through The Fundraising Authority, Joe had the opportunity to train over 50,000 non-profit fundraisers, executives, and board members on all aspects of fundraising and development. He also spent time running a major consulting group at one of the nation’s largest non-profit consulting firms.

Joe previously served as the Executive Director of BLOCS: Business Leadership Organized for Catholic Schools, as the Executive Director of Philanthropy at the Jack Miller Center, and as the Development Director of The Philadelphia Children’s Alliance. In addition, Joe currently serves as a Senior Advisor at the Center for Major Gifts. He lives in the Philadelphia area and graduated from Rutgers University.

Joe Garecht is a pure professional. He listened and asked great questions upfront. We felt he knew not just our mission, but the women we wanted to reach. His writing style is excellent… so clear and to the point. Our campaign was a success and the Board was thrilled with his work.

Julie Ricciardi    Walking with Purpose   

As a consultant, Joe has worked with hundreds of non-profit organizations to help them raise more money and build better development programs. He also has considerable experience as a fundraising consultant to political organizations.

Joe is also the creator of Go Beyond Clients, a website that helps freelancers and consultants – including non-profit fundraising consultants and freelance grantwriters – learn how to build passive income streams for their businesses.
