Marc A. Pitman Biography

An international leadership coach and fundraising trainer, Marc A. Pitman, CSP® helps nonprofit board members and staff get excited about asking for money. He is the founder of The Concord Leadership Group and of FundraisingCoach.com - recognized by The Atlantic as "1 of 5 Philanthropic blogs fundraisers need to read." His latest book is "The Surprising Gift of Doubt: Use Uncertainty to Become the Exceptional Leader You Are Meant to Be." He is also the author of "Ask Without Fear!®," the executive director of the affordable fundraising training program The Nonprofit Academy, and an Advisory Panel member of Rogare, a prestigious international fundraising think tank.

Because of his dynamic trainings, Pitman speaks to thousands each year at events like the World Fundraising Summit in Mexico, trainings in New Zealand, Association for Fundraising Professionals International Conference, and the International Bowling Expo. His experience in nonprofit fundraising and leadership training in person and online, as well as his balanced commentary, has caused him to be featured in books and articles around the world and be sought out as a guest on TV, radio, and print as diverse as The Chronicle of Philanthropy, Real Simple, SUCCESS Magazine, Al Jazeera, and Fox News.

With a passion that's made people call him the "Johnny Appleseed of fundraising," Pitman believes fundraising is all about leadership. Fundraising affects everything from mission and vision to board governance to HR to marketing and community relations. So he is committed to making it ridiculously easy for everyone - board members, volunteers, and nonprofit staff - to get fundraising training. "Ask Without Fear!" has been translated into Dutch, Polish, Spanish, and Chinese. And he continues to write books, create online fundraising trainings, and collaborate on systems like 100 Donors in 90 Days.

Pitman's leadership experience also includes planting and pastoring a Vineyard church, managing a gubernatorial campaign, teaching internet marketing at both the under graduate and graduate level, and being chosen as one of Maine's first "40 Under Forty," honoring Maine's emerging generation of leaders.

He is the husband of his best friend and the father of three amazing kids. And if you see him drive by, he’ll probably be singing 80’s tunes loud enough to embarrass his family
