Helping you become a
better fundraiser
Fundraising can be hard for just about everyone. My goal is to make it a little easier, and a lot more comfortable. I work with my clients to help everyone at their organization become more effective fundraisers.
I'm Brian Saber
I’ve spent my entire career ASKING for money for nonprofits. From my early days as a student leader and telethon caller (I hated that!) to my six years in charge of major and principal gifts throughout the Midwest for Brandeis University to my two stints as an executive director, every position involved significant face-to-face solicitation. I harnessed all that frontline experience to become a trainer, coach, and consultant around the country and abroad. I train boards and staff, help develop major gift programs, conduct campaign feasibility studies, and coach top-level staff, all with the goal of raising more money for your nonprofit.
Here's how I can help
My work is driven by my lifelong desire to make the world a better place and to lead a purposeful life. Being surrounded by people who share that worldview brings me great satisfaction. I’m incredibly fortunate to have spent my career in the nonprofit world, a world with important values and strong community.
I’ve been consulting for 30+ years on a wide range of topics.

Having led trainings for over 150 organizations, I’m well aware that there is not a one size fits all model. Every organization is at a different juncture and has different levels of experience. Each person within an organization has a different level of experience. My role is to learn from you so I can build a live or virtual training that meets you where you are.
