Michael Soper

TeamSoper provides fundraising consulting and research-based marketing strategies to America's top nonprofit institutions. Unlike large and sometimes impersonal consulting firms, all clients work directly with me as the principal of TeamSoper.

As a client, you become a "TeamSoper Insider" -- a member of the team -- sharing your ideas, reactions and suggestions. You gain perspectives directly from the experts through e-mail, phone, fax, seminars / workshops, and face-to-face meetings.

On the left you'll find the "blinding flash of the obvious" -- simple fundraising solutions from a partner who is dedicated to your success.
