Speaking Fees:

As a fundraising speaker, my fees vary greatly depending on the audience, topic, length, date and location.  In all situations, the hosting organization will be asked to cover travel costs.  As a way of paying back the profession for what it has given me, I currently do one workshop for an AFP chapter each month for only prepaid travel costs (estimated from Harrisburg, PA – $250 minimum, does not apply to conference keynotes).

Please SCHEDULE A CALL and let me know what you have in mind …
