Fraser Green is widely considered one of Canada's most strategic and creative thinkers in the fundraising sector today. Fraser is the Chief Strategist and Smartypants at Good Works - a consulting firm that propels charities to build deeper relationships with loyal donors and constituents.
Fraser is a gifted communicator whose books, articles, blogs and contrarian rants are widely read by fundraisers and CEO's around the world. Fraser is a gifted speaker- and has presented sessions and plenary addresses at hundreds of fundraising conferences in Canada, the USA and Europe. Fraser is a self-confessed 'donor research freak'. He believes deeply that creating a superb donor experience is the key to great fundraising and that listening carefully to donors is an all-important first step in doing so.
When he is not staring at his laptop, Fraser loves to bike and ski, bend his body into ridiculous yoga postures, play his guitars and generally explore the world around him.
