Marc’s full bio is too long to be read before live presentations. People presenting Marc to audiences are free to shorten it by highlighting only what they feel would be pertinent to their audience.

If it’s easier, we’ve prepared a much shorter intro that should work for most situations:


Marc A. Pitman is the author of “Ask Without Fear!“, executive director of The Nonprofit Academy, and founder of FundraisingCoach.comone of the longest running blogs in the nonprofit sector. The Atlantic said FundraisingCoach.com is “1 of 5 Philanthropic blogs fundraisers need to read.”

With a passion that’s made people call him the “Johnny Appleseed of fundraising,” Marc speaks nationally and around the world on leadership, influence, storytelling, and fundraising. 

He is married to his best friend and is the father of three amazing kids, who, if he’s belting ’80s tunes, will deny they know him.

Please join me in welcoming, Marc Pitman!
