Meet Your Fundraising BFFs
Patrick Kirby
Founder of Do Good Better Consulting
Fundraiser. Dad. Author. Speaker.
Patrick Kirby is what happens when you mix equal parts fundraising expertise, caffeinated enthusiasm, and an unshakable belief that nonprofits deserve better than burnout and budget gaps. As the Founder of Do Good Better Consulting, Patrick has made it his life’s mission to help nonprofits fundraise smarter, build stronger donor relationships, and actually enjoy asking for money (yes, really).
He’s the author of the Amazon bestsellers Fundraise Awesomer! A Practical Guide to Staying Sane While Doing Good & Fundraise Like a 5th Grader, host of The Official Do Good Better Podcast, and loather of the phrase “we’ve always done it that way.”
Patrick’s fundraising street cred comes from nearly two decades in the trenches, including his time as Senior Director of Development at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and Chief Development Officer at the Anne Carlsen Center. He’s worked with organizations of every shape and size, helping them raise millions without losing their minds in the process.
