Let's find out more...

Who is Kurt Steiner?

I've had the pleasure of getting to know Kurt online over the last few years as I've dealt with Charity How To. He has a real passion for fundraising and Nonprofits.

He's been helping thousands of Nonprofits and Charities online since 2003, and was part of the team that helped establish Firstgiving.

During his time there as Vice President of Sales, FirstGiving help raise over $100 million dollars online for charity.

The Charity How To about page has this to say about his founding of it...

"Speaking to charities and nonprofits on a daily basis, Kurt was told time and time again of the frustration many felt with the internet; they continued to hear of the power of the web and social media, but learning how to leverage this new technology while simultaneously running their organization and carrying out their mission seemed an impossible feat.

"Charity How To was born out of a simple idea: Help nonprofits raise more money without requiring a huge time or financial commitment."

This is what Debbie Cook of the Lutheran Schools Association had to say about it...

"The Profitable Silent Nonprofit Auctions webinar information was awesome! Our nonprofit has no history of silent auctions, but tested the waters a bit with a few items at a fundraiser last year. As we attempt to grow this component, I truly appreciated the tips and advice offered. With a small staff, we have no time to waste. Thanks for pointing us in a good direction with tried and true suggestions."
