With all the uncertainty with the Coronavirus, limited air travel, and the volatility in the stock market, it’s an interesting time to be a fundraiser. For the next few episodes of the podcast, we are going to be focused on fundraising under uncertainty with interviews from people who worked during other times of crisis and how they made decisions and took action. Today’s guest is Fred Fransen. Fred is the Co-Founder of Certell, Inc., an educational non-profit which provides Social Studies curriculum to more than 5,000 teachers, who teach more than 475,000 students across the country. Fred has also worked for years as a donor advisor to major donors and advised them on their charitable giving.
