Joy in the work.

Lindsay Jordan is a dynamic leader with a penchant for taking on risks that others would rather not. In 2018, she looked back at a decade of fundraising experience and said, no, there simply had to be a better way. 

Today, her company, Write On Fundraising, has raised nearly $300 million for nonprofits throughout the United States through a framework she developed called philanthropic equity — a blueprint that provides onramps to more equitable fundraising techniques, models healthy fundraising culture, raises awareness of the nonprofit industrial complex, and advocates for policy change.

Lindsay has grown her team from a home office of 15 full-time fundraisers to a national network of franchise professionals, all dedicated not only to raising funds but also to changing how funds are raised.
