Jason Lewis is the Founder of Responsive Fundraising, a consultancy committed to creating places where fundraising can thrive.
He’s also the author of “The War for Fundraising Talent,” self-described as an honest yet hopeful critique of contemporary fundraising practices. Jason’s follow-up book, “Why Fundraising Lets Us Down,” is scheduled for release in 2023.
