I want YOU to succeed!

I know nonprofits,
and I love to help them thrive.

Hi, I’m David. I’ve worked professionally as a fundraising auctioneer and emcee for 10 years, alongside a career in nonprofit leadership.

Clients include Seattle Parks Foundation, Rainier Athletes, Duwamish Tribal Services, Global Visionaries, Arts Corps, FEEST, Indian American Community Services, Spectrum Dance, Eastside Legal Assistance Program, Bayside Housing, Epiphany School, Open Window School, Our Lady of the Lake, City of Hope, Bureau of Fearless Ideas, Vashon Pet Protectors, West Seattle Senior Center, Northwest Film Forum, SOZO Sports, Southwest Youth & Family Services, Broadway Bound, and many others.

I work independently and as part of the team at Northup Fundraising.

Let’s Have Fun
Fundraising Together

Collective giving, gratitude, and humor are the principles I lead with, joyfully surpassing fundraising goals for the hundreds of organizations I’ve worked with at events across the US.

I’ve worked at nonprofits for over 20 years, including 13 years in executive leadership. I bring an understanding of how organizations run, and the value of philanthropy.

Let’s throw a great party that supports your great work!
