Meet Jody Fausnight – a true fundraising powerhouse with 25+ years of making nonprofit dreams come true! Since snagging his CFRE certification back in 2000, he’s been the go-to guy for organizations looking to level up their development game across NY and PA. Think of him as a nonprofit whisperer – he’s helped raise millions for smaller organizations and built development programs from scratch more times than he can count!
Armed with a BA in Business Administration from Taylor University and an MBA from Lebanon Valley College, Jody’s done it all – from directing advancement programs to spearheading community relations for four different nonprofits. He even founded a development training conference for Christian school leaders in Pennsylvania back in 2003! When he’s not sharing his wisdom at ACSI events or development staff roundtables, you might catch him writing about it – yep, he’s a published author too!
Speaking of catching him, good luck with that! When Jody’s not helping ministries meet their fundraising goals, he’s probably zooming down a ski slope, hitting the pavement for a run, or embarking on new adventures with his family. He’s also a dedicated church deacon and Boy Scouts of America volunteer, because apparently sleep is optional! Whether you’re just starting your development journey or ready to tackle major initiatives, Jody’s your guy – bringing that perfect blend of expertise, energy, and genuine passion to help your ministry thrive.
