Non-Profits & Fundraisers

Chris is the ideal Benjamin Franklin for any fundraising event. Ben’s abilities to rally support for causes he believed in resulted in:

  • The first public library in the Colonies
  • The University of Pennsylvania
  • The first organized fire department
  • The first fire insurance company
  • The first hospital in Philadelphia

He even funded the hospital by using a concept of his own invention - matching grants! Because Ben believed so firmly in the power of collective influence to motivate and because his methods were so effective, he was able to loosen purse strings for many important causes and became the role model for community service.

Chris’s talks to non-profits and fundraising groups have proved nothing short of inspirational. (See "Testimonials") He’s the ideal keynoter or after-dinner speaker for any organization seeking to motivate its members towards service or philanthropy.
