    Get In Touch

    Hi, I’m Joe Waters.

    I’m a Massachusetts-based writer, speaker, and advisor with a wicked awesome Boston accent.

    I help nonprofits & businesses think differently about partnerships—what actually works, what doesn’t, and why. That thinking is grounded in real-world experience and captured in my book, Fundraising with Businesses, published by Wiley.

    If you’re trying to raise more money, build lasting loyalty, and stop chasing tactics that don’t hold up, you’re in the right place.

    I look forward to each newsletter. They are filled with thought-provoking and actionable content, much of which I might add, is unique and not captured in other non-profit newsletters. And it’s great that you give a voice to some of the lesser-known causes. Bravo!
