22 Acquisition International - Non-Profit Organisation Awards 2023 Most Inspiring Fundraiser & Entrepreneur 2023: Jimmy LaRose hroughout the years Jimmy LaRose has spent working alongside charities, he has gained a great deal of knowledge about what works and what doesn’t. The common approach that charities take upon their mission doesn’t always help bring forward the money that is needed to do so as they don’t tend to focus on donors and volunteers as much as they should. Jimmy LaRose is the author of RE-IMAGINING PHILANTHROPY: Charities Need Your Mind More Than Your Money, which has been named one of the 100 best philanthropy books of all time. Sharing his knowledge to help charities maximise their impact is the aim of this book. Jimmy challenges charities to shift who they perceive their clients to be – he identifies donors and volunteers as the “true client” instead of those who the charity is founded to help. The client of a nonprofit is who receives the services it provides, which is exactly why charities have approached those it helps as their clients. However, given that money comes from donors (not from who is receiving its services) the approach can’t be the same. For charities to provide real change and support, Jimmy believes that they need to focus more on the donors and involve them in their mission. In order to help charities accomplish their mission and transition into an approach that will help them make real impact, Jimmy founded a nonprofit organisation called, National Association of Nonprofit Organizations & Executives (NANOE). It is a nationwide network that is made up of donors, volunteers, and charitable leaders who are committed to significant and sustainable impact to help transform the communities they serve. NANOE offers memberships, credentialing, networking, impact videos, special events, donor data, resource libraries, and New Guidelines for Nonprofits to maximise charitable impact. Jimmy has an extensive background of experience with this kind of work and his ideas are highly valued and referred to by journalists. He has devoted his career to helping others. This life-long commitment has led Jimmy LaRose to receive the title of Most Inspiring Fundraiser & Entrepreneur 2023. He sees the opportunity to bring forward positive change and with his team of experts is devoted to transforming the nonprofit sector.
