Danny McDonnell

I’m Danny McDonnell and I’m a Global F2F Fundraising Specialist. I’ve spent almost twenty years in fundraising, from the frontline to the front office.

I’ve knocked on doors, trained fundraisers, built teams, fixed systems, and managed large scale global operations.

I’ve worked with operations in over 50 countries, and been on the ground in more than 40 of them. The past five years alone I’ve overseen F2F programs that brought in over $1.5 billion and recruited more than two million regular donors.

Over my career I’ve also spent 10,000+ hours in the field, coaching and training fundraisers and personally signed up over 2,500 donors myself.

After years of supporting fundraising teams around the world, I’m starting something new!

DMAC: The Danny McDonnell Alliance for Change. It’s a consultancy that helps charities and agencies raise more, retain more, and reimagine what F2F can be.

At the heart of DMAC are my 4 P’s:

People – the heart and energy behind every campaign.
Purpose – the reason it all matters.
Practice – the craft, the skill, the consistency.
Performance – the result that follows.

If you connect people with purpose and practice, performance naturally follows.

That’s DMAC.

So…If you’re in fundraising, strategy, or innovation and want to shake things up a bit, let’s talk.
