About Dave Sena
When I started as the executive director at a small nonprofit, my stomach hurt every time I looked at our budget and our payroll. I knew we needed more than a simple campaign or event to make ends meet. Through hard work and guidance from my mentor, my organization went from raising $250k per year to raising over $2M (if you included capital pledges) in a town of approximately 90,000 people.
My mentor helped me, and I want to share what I learned. My passion for helping nonprofit leaders connect with their donors caused me to found Bold Leading in 2015. Our team now helps new and veteran fundraisers build a nonprofit donors love and fund.
