Turning LinkedIn into a Fundraising Engine for Nonprofits | Keynote Speaker | Investor | Husband & Father | 2 Exits |

I spent years building and scaling companies, raising investment, and developing partnerships across different industries. What I learned is that growth always comes down to one thing: relationships.

When I started working with nonprofits, I noticed something that changed my direction. Many organizations were approaching corporate partnerships as sponsorship requests rather than co-created impact. The conversation was transactional, so the funding was short term.

So now I help nonprofits secure meaningful corporate partnerships and long term funding through a relationship first strategy. I also train nonprofit consultants who want to deliver this framework with their clients.

My work at Impact Circle focuses on:
• Building partnership pipelines that are based on alignment, not pitching
• Training nonprofit teams to lead high trust conversations with corporate partners
• Helping consultants grow their visibility and revenue using a value first approach

I still build companies that create impact. I am developing Givly, an AI powered platform designed to help nonprofits increase grant success by giving teams a research and writing co pilot that understands their goals.

A few parts of my journey:
• Built and exited multiple companies
• Raised millions in investment
• Recognized by JA Worldwide for creating meaningful impact
• Reduced over one million single use plastic bottles through sustainable water systems
• International keynote speaker on social impact, partnerships, and purpose driven growth

If you believe relationships are the real engine of funding and partnership success, we are aligned.

Send me a message with the word Impact, and I will share resources we use to help teams grow sustainably.

Let’s build something meaningful.

Nonprofits: 4 Trends You CAN’T Ignore in 2026 (or You’ll Feel It in Your Budget):

The next year won’t reward good intentions.
It will reward organizations that adjust early.

Here’s what’s already reshaping nonprofit growth, funding, and survival and the exact questions boards should be asking now.


1. Individual Giving Is separating Fast
The middle is shrinking. High-capacity donors are consolidating influence.

• Donors giving $1,000+ now account for over 75% of individual giving dollars

• Donor counts continue to decline, even as total dollars stay flat or rise

• Retention rates for first-time donors remain below 25%

Do your top 10% donors fund at least 60% of revenue?

Are you designing experiences for fewer donors giving more, or still chasing volume?


2. Corporate Dollars Are Shifting From Philanthropy to Partnership

CSR budgets are tightening. ROI expectations are rising.

• Over 60% of corporate giving now flows through partnerships tied to brand, workforce, or ESG goals

• One strategic partner often replaces 10–20 small sponsors

• Companies expect measurable outcomes within 12 months, not 3 years

Can you clearly articulate what a company gains in the first 90 days?

Are partnerships treated as revenue channels or one-off donations?

3. Boards Are Becoming Financially Intolerant
Sentiment is changing quietly but decisively.

• Median nonprofit cash reserves remain under 6 months

• Organizations with under 3 months runway face a 2x higher closure risk

• Boards increasingly demand scenario planning, not just annual budgets

Could you operate through a 20–30% revenue drop without layoffs?

Do board members actually understand your funding concentration risk?


4. Attention Is the New Scarcity, Not Funding
The organizations winning in 2026 are visible before they ask.

• Nonprofits with consistent executive presence on LinkedIn raise 30–40% more from individual donors

• Foundations increasingly vet leadership visibility before first meetings

• Trust is being built publicly before it’s built privately

Is your leadership team known outside your existing donor base?

Could a stranger understand your impact in 60 seconds online?


2026 will not be kind to organizations running on momentum alone.

It will reward clarity, concentration, and courage to change earlier than feels comfortable.

With purpose and impact, Mario
